I absolutely agree with this if anyone can exercise. I had been a jogger most of my life (I am now 65) and had recently stopped and began walking when my jogging friend had to stop. We had always talked about how we believed that jogging kept us healthier. But I didn’t think much about it. I would still run on occasion but not nearly like I had. I walked most evenings with my husband instead. 8 months later I was dx with bronchectasis after a CT scan showed mucous plugs last December and then I battled pneumonia in February. I decided one day after recovering from pneumonia to run on the treadmill and I was shocked at how good it felt. I asked my pulmonologist in March if he thought it was ok and he said absolutely. Old school thinking was to rest in bed but he said, for those inclined, to get up and move as long as breathing was not labored. I am now back to jogging daily, at least 5 days a week. I am very active and I really think it helps my breathing, along with nebulizer and mucinex each 2x/day.

That is advantage of being retied. 🙂 I hope I have enough time to do exercise!! Airway clearance and reading takes a lot of time. I tell myself nothing can be perfect, do the best you can. 🙂
