What Is It?
Lungs In Action is a community-based exercise program run by exercise professionals
Lungs in Action classes are flexible and are tailored to suit your individual needs.
Classes include exercises such as walking, upper and lower body strength exercises, balance, and stretches, as well as seated options for those who are more breathless or who require supplemental oxygen or a walking aid.
Regular exercise helps to improve symptoms such as breathlessness, which helps increase independence and make daily activities such as cooking or washing easier. The classes also provide a unique opportunity to meet and socialise with people living with a lung condition
