New to Exercising!

crystalina0814 · Jul 7, 2009

Hi everyone. I am a 27 y/o CF woman who just recently joined a gym and started a routine. I have fairly mild CF (FEV1- 75%). I am hoping that with proper exercise along with my airway clearance and medications I can improve the quality of my life.
Question- what are some of your cardio routines? How much is too much? How often should cardio be done? Currently I am doing about 25 min cardio- 6days a week, along with 5 days of resistance bands (stregnth trainging). I was thinking of replacing a few of my cardio days with yoga. I was just curious what everyone else did. And also how they can be sure to replace the calories burned so weight isn't lost. I am actually wanting to gain some muscle weight- so I have increased my Ensure Plus consumption. Any advice/tips/personal experiences would be appreciated!

Hi there!!

You'll definitely be able to get more quality or life with CF when you exercise, -I have! But it will and can be HARD at times, -just pace yourself!-

My routine is as follows:

3x a week gym,- I bike over there,- 10-15mins bike (light biking), -start treadmill,- 20-30mins, (depending on how I am feeling that day,) 15-mins warm up, 5 mins running on the treadmill, 5 mins,cool down, then stop. Some days I change this up for incline on the treadmill, and just light walking, since running can be very hard till you slowly build stamina, -I managed to do 6 mins running today <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">!

Btw, side note. Hydration is the key, if you lose too much salt, -someone will be picking you up off the gym floor, -NO plain water, Gatorade,.PowerAid intake.

Once I'm done and rested, I start on weights, some days I do free weights, 3 1/2, 5 lbs good to start with for you,- biceps, triceps, shoulder moments, .Some days I also do machines, but what I feel esp. important for people with CF is the chest muscles,- deltoids, pecs and light bench presses-.

And for my vanity, I do abs/sit ups, <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

All with in the space of around an 1 hr, no more then that is needed,. Do NOT exhausted yourself, it sounds a manic here,- but you can shape up your own routines while maximizing what you can put you CF through.

Now, nutriental status can be another thing and the most important, or your workouts are totally wasted., You will find with strenuous exercise to get more hungry as your body adjusts to want/ new fuel intakes, (least mine has). Protein is your main food here to feed your muscles and grow, if you can, get -Ensure with Protein.

Sounds like you other routines sound good, yoga I have not tried, but looks great for CF, breathing techniques, ect

Starting out on gym routines with my exper.,- start once a week, then 2x, then up to 3x,- and no more after that, your body needs optimal recovery time.

Well this is a lot of advice to absorb, and I have plenty more and of course,- check up with the old CF doc to see what he/she recommneds : D

And you sound very heathly, and with two kiddies ! Keep up the good work!

I am not new to exercising, but I'll share one of my typical weekly routines anyway <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Monday - 30 minute swim (this is new; part of triathlon training), followed by 1 hour turbo kickboxing

Tuesday - 1 hour boot camp class (intense cario & weight lifting drills)...kicks my butt every time and makes me sore for about 4 days lol

Wednesday - 30 minutes running; 1 hour turbo kickboxing

Thursday - 30 minutes swimming; 1 hour spin class

Friday - rest

Saturday - 20 minutes running or stair mill, 1 hour strengh endurance class (cardio & weight lifting drills)

Sunday - usually a long walk on the trails w/ my bf...4-5 miles; no running...he insists! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> OR we will play tennis, etc.

Like I said, I'm *not* new to exercising, so I wouldn't recommend doing that much right off the bat. The main thing is to mix it up...so you don't get bored, and so you body don't get 'used to' what you're doing and stops benefiting from it. Also, the only reason for my running/swimming/etc before classes is that I go straight to the gym from work, and classes don't start until later, so I figure might as well utilize the time I have and do something while I'm there.

My routine is about to change drastically anyway do to tri training; will probably not be able to go to classes anymore, and have to get outside for bike rides (once I get my bike)...I'm kinda worried about making enough time for it, but we'll see. Classes are a great way to mix it up, and you can meet some really fun people too; I definitely recommend them; esp if you have girlfriends who want to join too.

I agree...hydration is KEY!! At the gym I usually just drink water, but when I go on long runs (over an hour) I will bring 3 bottles of water, 1 of gatorde + shot blocks in my fuel belt to keep my electrolytes up. I usually have to follow gatorade with water, or mix the two to prevent stomach cramps if you are doing intense cardio.

Also, you should be good replacing a couple days of cardio with yoga; it's really good for you. Cardio may be what really gets you coughing/clearing your chest though, in which case, maybe try to squeeze in a few minutes of jogging or something before yoga to strengthen your lungs if that's an option.

Wow, I seem to have written a novel...sorry! Best of luck excercising...have fun!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
