I'm a huge fan of the water, so when I can, I swim. My family is putting in our own pool soon, so I'll be doing that as my main excercise. I also do about 30 mins. on the treadmill when I'm having a good day.

I use to swim as a kid, and play soccer. Both very good for cartiovascular excercise.

Now, I ride horses (yes that really is a form of excercise). My horse is young, which means she is not bomb proof... I have to be very alert and keep her under control all the time. Also the work that comes along with owning horses and having them on your property is pertty demanding... cleaning the corrals, etc... I've even been told that my legs look more in shape since I bought my horse almost 4 years ago, and I can definitely feel it in my arms at times... the only thing riding doesn't really cover is my mid area... so I think I need to start doing some sit ups. My stomach use to be solid as a rock because of all the coughing I did, but now since I'm post transplant I dont' cough... so my stomach has softened a little <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I do a lot of walking and aerobics - a bit of light weight lifting once and a while.

I manly hit the weight room about 6 times a week and from time to time play soccer

Sometimes it's the simplest things that make the difference:

When I was critically ill for a few years, the simple practice of 30mins walking in the countryside every couple of days kept me going. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Housework......vacuuming, mopping, going up & down the stairs & of course my weigh lifting (laundry). I am very bad about exercising. Although today I will get a work out with shoveling (if I can tolerate it breathing wise) witht the 6-9 inches we are currently getting.

Currently, I try to keep up with my wife when she's going to the train station with me. It's a ten minute walk up hill (yea, both ways--haha) to the station, and she takes the bicycle, so I try to keep pace with it! (It's uphill from the house to the station!)

I have to go 3 flights of stairs at work, they wish people working on the second and third floor to not use the elevators. Stairway to the fourth and fifth floor is optional!

I practice my Iaido, which is a low form of excercise, but it is excercise!

And, other than an occasional shuffling of big boxes, I really don't get much of a work out anymore. sometimes I do when doing serious cleaning at home!

I miss my Aikido days, though! That was some serious workout!

Hello! I am new at these forums, so I am sure I will mess this up somehow! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
I am pretty active...I race offroad motorcycles...I am ranked #3 overall in my state and compete in national competitions all around the country as well. It is a wonderful workout...most races take 4-6 hours with limited breaks. I have some set-backs obviously from CF...lots of cramps due to the amount of salt I sweat out...and wheezing/shortness of breathe, etc. I never use CF as an excuse and most people I compete against don't even know I have it, which is how I prefer it to be.
Cool website, I enjoy hearing about other CF'ers! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
