Has Anyone In The Group Used A Vibration Board For Working Out? I'm Curious If It Might Be A More Approachable Way To Work Out?

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor told me to stay active in order to get off the oxygen. I am struggling to find ways to be on my feet. I have been trying work outs, but I get really winded. So I got a vibration board. Supposedly using it for ten minutes equals a half hour walk!

Back to your doctor advising you to exercise more to be less dependent on the oxygen, I would like to hug his neck.

Oh, excellent ! My friend, B, is trying a variety of things for her feet and swelling (most used seated, just vibrating her legs) and it’s really helping with her foot swelling and knee issues.

Give anything a try that you think might help, @A MyCOPDTeam Member - anything’s better than feeling lost and without resources.

Take care of you. Wednesday, 20-NOV-24

Yes, that's the one! I've been trying it out, so far it has helped with edema. I did a little research and found out the long term effects of boards like these aren't fully understood yet. It is not good for people with certain health conditions, like heart disease.
