EXERCISE for LIFE

I have found that the BEST therapy I can do to keep my lungs clear is exercise - in particular - RUNNING!!!

I am 49 with CF and currently on a TX List but I continue to jog with a small oxygen tank...
I actually jog even when I am on home IV therapy and find that it clears out my lungs better. Also I feel running outdoors beats the heck out of running on a silly treadmill.

Check out my little video podcast!

Hi Jerry,

I just posted to you in the other thread before this one. How are you feeling these days? How long have you been on the list? I hope you get your new lungs soon!

Hi Jerry, Yes I checked out your podcast last month which was why I wanted to know how you were doing. I have to start exercising with oxygen now, maybe next week the equipment will come. I was inspired by seeing that you run so much. That's great! I haven't checked out the other interviews yet, but I will.

Are you on oxygen, or does it help you run? I've tried to take up running even when very well, but I just get too short of breath. I walk 4 miles 3 x week at 15 min miles with no problem.

Since Jerry's original post in 2006, he has been transplanted with lungs, is still a vigorous runner and exerciser. I guess he is now 56 or 57. Not sure he has posted here in a few years. Out door running can be more exhilarating than an indoor treadmill.

I am quite agree with your point of view that jogging and running are always best and most effective to clean out lungs. Some people run on treadmill but i think running outside is little better

I was having problems reciting the dessert menu at my work because I am a food server. Its a long menu and reciting everyone quickly put me out of breath. I started running outside again because I couldn't handle feeling out of breath at work. One time running, the dessert menu was easy to recite and I wasn't out of breath. I am trying to run 3 times a week. I want to do more because the difference is night and day. It took my lung function to go down for me to notice what running can do for me. I also feel the boost in my immune system. My overall health feels better.

I prefer to swimming . I think swimming is the best of all exercises. It helps to build all the muscles of your body , strengthen the breath also it is very pleasurable to do.
