Hello,

What sport do you practise and how often? How does it help your COPD?

Have you any tips to share with our members?

Thanks in advance!

hi i've just signed in.

my doctor advised me to get a stationary bike and I can say it has a positive effect - helps me catch my breath. However I am not sure I'm doing it right, for now it's only 2 times a week for ten minutes, and I don't go too fast.

Can you tell me if that's enough?

I have an exercise bike and use it occasionally. When I do use it I attempt to do 15 mins on the lowest setting and 10 mins on level 1. have some 1kg weights which I also use.

Has anyone tried water aerobics as a light sport? I figured that since it's low impact and the air is humid it might be a good idea. Any reviews?
