Hello @natureisgreat and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

You will notice that I have moved your post into the general COPD discussion here:
- COPD Group: Introduce yourself and connect with others: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/copd-group-introduce-yourself-and-connect-with-others/

I found this and thought you may be interested: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-benefits-of-pulmonary-rehabilitation-for-copd-and-other-lung-conditions/

What exercises have you tried so far, if any?

Hopefully my other post got through?
I believe I am experiencing pretty good control over my COPD as I am active, I fish, bowl, play golf, swim and recently started a new fade; Pickle Ball. Add to that I like to walk.
My goal is to live to be 100!
Sometimes, like when I bend forward to tie my shoes it feels like someone is squeezing the breath right out of me, a scary feeling for sure!
My last excise is to take deep breaths a bunch of times when I think about it and I feel it helps?
