These were first found by the efforts group, they promote exercise for us with COPD, so I dont think they will mind me passing these on to you, and I think them for the great find.
Keep on Moving,

Those are excellent clips. Thank you. I've been wondering how to use all these weights my son left here when he moved out. I don't like exercise too much, was very inactive in my youth. All I did, as far as exercise goes was shopping, dancing & thats about it. ( unless sex is included) Seem to exercise a lot more these days than I REALLY would like, but is necessary now!!! I have a real love-hate relationship with my treadmill. Also, go to youtube and click in chi gong. There is a demo clip that shows (1) exercise that includes deep pursed lipped breathing & visualization. Is easy enough for us that are at that 'stage' that makes a lot of stuff hard to do. The weights thing though, I think even I can utilize. Thanks:>) Deb
So glad you have posted them - something we can all refer to now and in the future.
