A member asked:
Can you suggest an exercise for lung and heart issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Walking: But ANY exercise will do. Better to start with aerobic exercise (walking, biking, swimming, elliptical, etc) and then may add some anaerobic (weights) but more repetitions than intensity. Start slow and build up. Clear with your doctor first.
