Yes for sure. I have COPD. I'm on going on 2 months of not vaping. 2 years no cigarettes. Breathing exercises are extremely important for people that have this disorder. So glad to have found this post daily reminder to be mindful of my breathing. After I broke my hip in my back and I had broken my foot in 2008. All the things that go along with getting older as well arthritis blah blah. Teasing a reason to give up exercising. I walk everyday I get to 10,000 plus steps. Although it's not always a continuous walk with the steps. I try walking up a slight flight of stairs. Arm exercises light leg exercises my point is even with COPD are for out of shape whatever it is we can still do things I think our biggest enemy when it comes to exercising, is the same really for why we smoked excuses. That I can't do it it's too hard I'll start tomorrow the same things I said with vaping and smoking I'll start it next week next day blah blah didn't happen until 2 months ago. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this community is, to have subgroups is just terrific I just found these different groups it's absolutely wonderful.
Thank you!
I used to go walk at the mall, thinking about starting again!
I need all the encouragement I can get. I’m so frightened that my breathing will not improve. I have quit a couple times in the past two months, but I panic and go back. I’m taking Chantix now and reset my date according to the Chantix orders. I would like to follow your helpful tips so I can live with this darn disease and not dread the rest of my life. Thank you so much for posting.
@KPSadony You got this! Also, consider posting in the main forum so more community members can see your post and offer encouragement!
