What exercises can my husband who is 76 do to loose weight with emphasemia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ask his doctor: Given his age and what you have noted (emphysema, a chronic lung problem), he should consult with his primary doctor (or his lung doctor) before starting a new exercise program. Depending on the severity of the lung disease, his ability to exercise may be limited. Exercise helps weight loss by burning calories, so it is a good idea.
