Yes, exercise is what keeps your body exchanging more oxygen. That is why it is important to get back to exercise as soon as you can after getting over a flare up.
I split mine up. I some in the morning, I take a walk after that, then In the evening a do a small set of exercises.

You don't have to go outside to exercise. There is a lot you can do in your house even in a chair. Every time we have a flare up it takes a little longer to get back to normal. Take your time it will gradually improve. I pay attention to the humidity and air quality before I go outside and limit my outside time if either are too high or bad for me. I also keep a dehumidifier going inside the house to keep it easier to breathe.

Sounds like a good plan @A MyCOPDTeam Member! I walk @2-3 miles daily (mostly with my dog on conservation trails) and stretching and free weights. Good job and take care!!😀 John Wedns Noon

Thanks for this answer! I have noticed some difference in how I feel from day to day too. I'm trying to do two short workouts a day. Hope you can get back to your workouts soon. 😀

@A MyCOPDTeam Member For the 3+ weeks I haven't been able to exercise due to my hand, I'm feeling the difference also. Exercise is Key i'm pretty sure....
