A member asked:
Why is exercise good for your lungs if it makes them strain extra hard?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise is good: for "conditioning" your heart and lungs, but it depends on how hard you are straining yourself. Remember there is always such things as too much of a good thing. Strain the heart and lungs too much and you can suffer undesirable consequences.
