Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments We have been talking about the importance of exercise, and COPD. There are specific COPD PT programs, where {at least the one I attended} in-addition to providing a variety of gym equipment, they also monitor your physical stats. For the most part we know how to monitor our stats, and I propose unless you need O2, any gym will work. As I mentioned, my PT lets me use their equipment any time. Alternatively one could go to the Y or other low cost venue. I know the formal COPD PT programs can be quite taxing on insurance.
