Aerobic Training

Regular performance of exercise that involves the large muscle groups on a rhythmic and repetitive basis 20 to 30 minutes a day for three times a week.

What are Not Aerobic Exercises?

Surfing the net.Watching the T.V.Walking to the refrigerator.Riding a golf cart.Heavy lifting. Hitting balls at the driving range.

No Time to Train?

Think in intervalsThose who exercised a total of 30 minutes a day but in 10 or 15 minutes at a time reaped the same benefits as one who exercised 30 minutes all at once.

Strength Training

But I don’t want to get too big…

But Why Strength Training?

Aerobic training alone has revealed only modest exercise and activity tolerance. Strength training is a useful method for improving oxygen consumption.

Furthermore…

Exercise limitations have been shown to originate from skeletal muscle dysfunction rather than from the cardiopulmonary system.

When Can I Stop Having To Train Myself?

Lifelong Friends, Lifelong Practice

Pulmonary rehabilitation should, therefore, be lifelong and be supported and promoted by all members of the health care team.
