My husband does it. He does not have CF but needed to lose weight. he followed the diet and exersize program religiously and he has lost at least 25 pounds..He loves it. You definately need to make sure you eat and drink enough.
I am a runner but when i get bored I'll do one of the "easy" dvd's from P90X...It is hard! But definately helps your core and focuses alot on yoga.

Nice that's great to hear. I want to really gain some muscle and increase endurance. I can't run anymore unfortunately because of an (undiagnosed) problem with my right knee.
I took a 20 mile bike ride yesterday, so I think I'll have a decent head start (although I do know it's an intense workout). I'm wondering how different a diet for a person with CF will be. I'm gonna try high protein and low carb and see how that works. I might call my dietician and get some guidance as well.

Here's a couple of other folks with cf that are doing P90X

Here's an interesting quote from the last link (the page is a person with CF who is a retired pathologist who now has a wellness/fitness coaching business):
Now, here is the part that is hard to believe. Between the antibiotics and the exercise program (nothing else changed), I seem to have grown a new lobe of lung tissue! Kidding. Not really, of course. However, I am a bit of a nerd about my pulmonary function tests. I have them dating back over 20 years. When I blew for the first time this spring after finishing the exercise program (and six weeks of antibiotics, don't forget). The volume of air I blew out in one second (FEV1) increased by 39% since the previous, and the small airway number (the FEF25-75%) improved by 70%!
I was a bit shocked by the "percent predicted" figures, having not heard those numbers in decades, so I decided it was a mistake. Maybe the norms being used were different. Maybe the machine was wrong. Then, I blew again. Same numbers. I drove home wondering how in the world scar tissue could turn into lung tissue (I'm sorry, but I still have a Pathologist sense of humor, despite retirement).
So I did what a nerd would do, and I dug out all the previous reports and compared volumes. Volumes don't lie. Sure enough, the last time I saw numbers even close to these were in my 20's. Did I mention that I'm 47?

Thanks for the links. I do know that my PFT's will come up. Even with the moderate exercise I am doing currently, they came from about 96% to 104% predicted. I'd be happy at around 115-120% predicted, which is where I was when I was doing gymnastics.
I wish I could give some of my good pulmonary function to some of you on here. I really can't imagine being in the 30-50 percentile. That's part of the reason for my exercise is to keep my lungs healthy and not get to that point (at least not for a long time).

My husband and I are starting the program on Monday. I've done a little bit of it sporadically, and I really like it. I was taking kickboxing classes and running before this, so I'm prepared! Just from kickboxing and running I've seen a 5% increase in FEV1 in the past 6 months.

<br>Bookworm: are you serious that P90X raised your PFT's that much? I need to raise mine a bit, about 30%. I have some work to do. I would like to hear more....
