I don't worry about numbers. For me, it's all about how I feel physically after exercising.

Do you feel different after exercising? For me, even a 20 minute run on the treadmill makes me FEEL better. To me it feels better than doing a pulmozyme treatment.

I can feel my body clearing itself out if I run every day. I imagine each little cell in my body clogged with mucus, but after a workout I imagine that each cell has gone through some sort of detox. The act of sweating is then an act of somehow cleansing. For me, it's almost a spiritual experience LOL!

My lungs are clear, I have a ton of energy, and I sleep better.

I run 30 + minutes every day. If I skip even one day, I notice it because that detox "feeling" isn't there.

Within the last year, I have started exercising regularly. Before that, I exercised sporadically. For me, the benefit of exercise is my increase if stamina. I don't need to nap as much and can just all around do more. I, unforunately, have not seen an increase in lung function. I started exercising due to more frequently infections and poor stamina - I wish I had started exercising when my FEV1 was in the 80's not the 60's!

I had a trampoline growing up ( a big one though, the real dangerous ones <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> and it helped.
I also did cheerleading and sang in choir until I was a junior in high school...
honestly I only did one treatment a day, if that while doing all those activities and felt great...

Side note: When I was born my uncle was an RT, he told my mom to not do treatments if I didnt have to b/c the medicine (steroids) were so hard on the heart... growing up to about puberty I only did nebulizers and hand cpt when I was sick, hence why I had a hard time starting to do treatments after I stopped all my activities. Also wasnt seeing a "real" cf doctor until about 13 and that was only once a year, once I got to 14/15 starting seeing her regularly.

guess when I got my first picc line and first "real" exacerbation? Yup, the winter of my junior year (also didnt have PE those last two years of high school either)

last hospital visit my doctor said and I quote (though not guaranteeing his accuracy or truthfullness) "Exercise is our first choice" when I told him I was going to start exercising....

I started the 15 running progam thing that Ronnie posted on his blog last monday and I can tell a difference in how deep i can breathe after just two days of 30 minute walks, and so now /w the running program it forces me to breathe deeper and deeper and open up those airways. In my mind it feels like the air I suck down deep pushes (or displaces) the mucus out and up.
