There are many forms of COPD.
COPD is a blanket term used to cover a broad list of respiratory illnesses. Cystic Fibrosis technically is in a class by itself. In fact, some doctors will tell you that CF is not a classic COPD at all.
For one thing, COPD is rarely genetic (which CF is). In addition, COPD’s often indicate forms of medical intervention that differ greatly from the forms of medical treatments recommended for people with CF.

Observations:
Breathing good, but the selction of exercises really forced some drainage of the airways. Some coughing in the middle that was fairly challenging, and exhausting as well. But breathing got easier and easier as workout progressed to the point that toward the end I felt like I had Uber Lungs.
I only did one super set of pullovers and chins, feeling that 2 supersets to failure was too much.
Abs was heavy today, and very strong. The reduced number of sets of leg raises paid off huge.
All reps were slow and controlled.

CPOD is such a huge problem in this world. Many people suffer with it. I am proud to be able to offer a site that hopefully gives encouragement to others who are managing this very difficult condition.
If you have COPD, then you know that chronic illness of this sort can be very discouraging at times. Sometimes it helps to talk to others who are dealing with some of the same challenges as you are. TPO is always looking for creative ways to make this site better. One of the things we do is partner with other sites that give support to people with chronic illness like COPD. TPO is therefore very excited about a new partnership of sorts.
A few days ago I was contacted by a representative from Breathing Better/Living Well. BBLW wanted to exchange links with TPO and I was eager to oblige the offer. Not only that, but I wanted to promote their book, “Breathe Better, Live in Wellness: Winning Your Battle Over Shortness of Breath“, written by Jane M. Martin, BA, CRT

I am not a doctor. I do not even play one on the Internet. So, it is always with a certain amount of apprehension that I write columns such as the one you are about to read.
One of the primary functions of TotalPhysiqueOnline.com is to help people with COPD be as healthy as possible. Another purpose of this site is to encourage everyone to take better care of their bodies.
Some of the suggestions passed along in the pages of this web site are based on my own experiences in managing COPD for 44 years. I cannot, nor would I ever, try to tell anyone what will and will not work for them in terms of their health. All I can do is pass on my personal insights and let you, the reader, consider the merits of what I propose.

I receive lots of emails from people all over the world who have some form of COPD. Many of them are already discovering the health benefits of exercise. They have found out that even moderate exercise, performed daily, makes a world of difference in their ability to breath.
Still, I do receive more than a a few emails from people who have not begun a workout program. They came to this site to check it over and see what is here. They have reviewed the articles and looked over the exercise programs that we currently have available, and still have not found what they are looking for.
