I go to the pool and swim at least 2 times a week, mostly 3 times a week. Kinda combining my cardio/resistance training all in one <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . I feel <i>so</i> much better since I started (almost 3 years ago), I actually enjoy it a bit now, lol. I really do have a lot more stamina than before, not to mention strength to do things I used to ask my dh to do <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .

Exercise is HUGE for CF longevity. Muscle training is also great, especially for male CF's.
I walk atleast 5-7 miles per day mon-fri at work, usually briskly, and some bike thrown in. Mon, Wed, and Fri I do heavy weight at L.A. Fitness near my work. On bench I do 6 sets of 5 reps @ 276lbs. Then I move to flies and do 3 sets of 10 @ 190-210. Then I move to preacher curls and do 3 sets of 10 @ 110. By the time i'm done with that usual routine it's close to haul booty to work time, so I usually don't have time for other machines but if I do I like the roman chair and pull down.
I haven't tried to max my bench in a very long time, but i'd like to see what max I could get up in the air now. I suppose if I absolutely had to (gun to head type thing) I could maybe do 300 or slightly over that. Weight training is awesome, and I feel and look amazing. I'm much stronger than some of the meat heads at my gym, and as a cystic i'm proud of that accomplishment.

BTW as far as personal trainers go, you don't need one full time, they are very expensive that way. The best thing to do, especially if you are a noobie, get a trainer to evaluate/interview you. After they find out what you are looking to do, they will give you a physical eval, and then see where you currently are, and capable of doing. They will then write out an exercise regimen for you. That is all you need for a decent period of time. Just with time increase your cardio load and weights/weight machines. If, and when you hit the wall where you stop benefitting from the old regimen, then sign back up for a new eval etc.
