Making physical activity a routine part of clinical care

British Lung Foundation

If patients have a lung condition, being active can help to improve their quality of life and help to manage their condition.

The British Lung Foundation has developed their ‘Stay Active, Stay Well’ exercise videos which give patients everything they need to start exercising. They include step-by-step aerobic and strength exercises as well as how to warm up before you start, and cool down and stretch at the end.

You can find the link to the videos below under the title ‘Useful links’.

 

British Lung Foundation

The British Lung Foundation also provides further information on pulmonary rehabilitation courses and the benefits of having a physical exercise programme.
