use of aerobika long term and vest

The difference I noticed after I started using it again was a gradual lessening of the amount of sputum. I don't have near as much sputum as some people seem to have and no cough, but apparently there was enough kind of "stuck" in my smaller airways that I did not realize was adding up over time. I noticed it was getting harder to breath deeply in my spin class at the gym and it was becoming a chore. It is an intense class anyway, but this was clearly different. After a couple of weeks of using the vest and clearing out some of what seemed to me to be a variety of old crud, my performance and ease of doing the spin class improved and my sputum is now minimal. I'm not quite Lance Armstrong but I can outspin a lot of my classmates my age and younger! Ha-ha! 🙂

Spin class is like an airway clearance exercise for me. I choose a bike in the back, where there is a ledge. I bring a little cup and paper towels with me because I cough a lot out during the class! I don't think anyone is noticing me because it is dark and loud in there!
I just wished I enjoyed it more so I would do it more often. I work on my rebounder (mini-trampoline) at home for cardio. That's a lot of fun but I don't cough like I do in spin class.

Thank you very much for sharing. What a great experience you had. You could take a spin class, that is impressive. My last infection changed my health a great deal, I have trouble breathing often, not sure what it is. I believe that the vest has to do something, it is nice you noticed that it is working for you.
Thanks again.
