CFers over 40

<P>The FEV1 is part of the PFT's, is tells how good the small airways are I believe. Mine is running at 31%. Still able to do a 16 min. mile for 2 miles on treadmill with grade of 4.5, heart rate 130. Exercise is the way! I use O2 with demand flow only for the treadmill.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>It is great to see all the older CFers. This should be encouraging for a lot of folks, esp. moms and dads of young children!!</P>

His FEV 1 hoovers in the mid 30's currently, but He is hoping to get back into the gym soon after recently having to battle bi-lateral pneumonia. We are hoping, if all goes as per the norm, and as per what we have seen in the past, He should be able to raise those numbers some. Being a Certified Personal Trainer Myself and also having chronic bronchitis (even though I NEVER smoked a day in my life!), I believe exercise and good nutrition plays a large part in getting and staying as healthy as we can.
