I do not jog, but I get on my treadmill for 20minutes a day, Kodus to you if your able to jog!!! Thats great

Oh I wish I could, I can't do anything but chair exercises now. Have to use a cane and my roller chair to walk.

I have a machine called a gazelle. It works my legs and arms at the same time. I ride a bike and take long walks around the neighborhood.
Haven't actually tried jogging yet.

I consider myself lucky to be able to walk. I haven't been able to jog in 12 years due to ankle and knee problems likely caused by too much athletic effort back when I was healthy and a particularly nasty car accident that messed up my lower legs. I do try to get the lower impact type of exercise like treadmill walking and exercise bike. I think it does help a lot but at 6 lpm there are limits to my breathing and my heart rate that keep me at a slower but even pace.

At this point my walking is limited to what I call a meandering with my dog for several blocks. The best exercise for me is the recumbent bike I bought after using one in pulmonary rehab.

No jogging these days, but I try to get in a mile a day walking, in three different spurts. Try to do it at a fast clip and it's not all flat.

I run with my dog when I take him for a walk. Usually, just a short 1/2 block before we are both winded and ready to just do a fast walk the rest of the trip. (about a mile or so.) Got to admit, if it wasn't for loving my dog I wouldn't be jogging, or running at all. It gets me so SOB and is really hard to catch my breath for while.

I use a treadmill for an hour a day. The speed depends on how well I'm breathing that day and my O2 sats. I use 6 LPM while using it...

Hugs,

I can't jog any longer but I do use the recumbent bike for 20-30 minutes a day most days. I can read magazines while doing it so the time goes quickly.

Oh how I wish I could jog but I have osteoporosis and I am wary of some exercises that I once did. I stick to the treadmill, stairs and as many weight bearing exercises as I think are safe for me. I am pretty sure that a broken hip or a spinal compression at this point would be my worst enemy. I am so happy that you still can do this.

" If you have osteoporosis, don't do the following types of exercises:
High-impact exercises. Activities such as jumping, running or jogging can lead to fractures in weakened bones. Avoid jerky, rapid movements in general. Choose exercises with slow, controlled movements.
Bending and twisting. Exercises in which you bend forward and twist your waist, such as touching your toes or doing situps, can increase your risk of compression fractures in your spine. Other activities that may require you to bend or twist forcefully at the waist are golf, tennis, bowling and some yoga poses.

If you're not sure how healthy your bones are, talk to your doctor. Don't let fear of fractures keep you from having fun and being active.
exercises and jogging is one of them"

i also walk. (as "briskly" as possible) try to do 20 minutes twice a day.
even if i could jog i don't think i would as i don't need my knees or ankles giving out.
i was looking into treadmills at one point, but realized they are HUGE and i don't know where i'd put one in my house---so i developed a figure 8 course i can walk thru my house as extreme temps keep me from doing it outdoors so often
BTW; i have a "fanny pack" 02 holder that straps around my waist; so i put that on so i'm not tripping over my long concentrator hose when i do this!

Sounds like we have a pretty group here, thanks all for your comments.

LOL That's because those of us who can't/don't do anything were too embarrassed to chime in.

You misunderstood me. I don't and can't jog. Was just wondering if anyone here is able and doing it. Still bothered the the 26 mile COPD wonder, lol.

I can't jog. However, with supplemental oxygen I walk and/or ride a stationary bicycle almost every day.

I log my walking/riding mileage on a website that is a virtual Trans American Trail. In a little over 3 years I have walked almost 3,300 miles! Like google maps' street view, you can see a photo of where you are on the virtual trail.

The virtual trail across America has been a great motivational tool for me. You can log your mileage for walking/running separately or combined.
