I'd suggest a person make a choice...to live or not to live? Which appeals? To live struggling to breathe or to live struggling to move which WILL improve breathing. At least struggling to move and improve breathing does work... it gets easier but by it isn't easy. Sure beats gasping and going the down hill spiral to inability do much of anything. Pick a move that is "pleasant"...swing your arms, kick your feet, stand up, walk to kitchen, move to music, move to a good movie or TV.

Your approach to explaining the depths of American obesity and exercise is fresh, especially in how you reiterate how exercise allows us to "breath" better--a fundamental aspect of life.

I have COPD with aspects of all three major diseases under that umbrella; was diagnosed in 2000, didn't do anything until 2003 when I landed in the hospital seriously not able to breathe, weighing nearly 300 pounds, Type II diabetes, c-pap machine and an FEV1 of 16%. Long story short, I went on a diabetic diet and began exercising (no pulmonary rehab in our little hospital) on the bike first and then treadmill. I lost over 100 pounds in a couple of years and have kept it off and my FEV1 was at 37% about a year ago. I recently joined a gym where there is a good weight circuit and have begun losing weight again. I'm nearly 63, work full time, play with my grandkids and travel for both business and pleasure. "Exercise not only lets me live, it allows me to have a life." That's my tag-line, and I believe it completely.
