COPD

A follow-on class from pulmonary rehabilitation which combines cardiovascular exercise with strengthening exercises.

The class is targeted at those with COPD as a way to help self-manage the condition.

Benefits

It also strengthens your respiratory muscles which can make it easier to breathe.
