    I can't can only say one thing ,,,,,DO IT ,,  you will not regret it ,,,I did first time back in 2008 and I firmly and honestly believe that was my first step to living a fuller life ,I'm aged 71. And after the 8 week course I followed on the exercise by going into the gym twice a week for An hour ,I built my self up to 3 Kim on the treadmill ,3 Kim on the bike ,5 Kim on the hand bike and 1000 meters on the rower ,yes I've had set backs ,pneumonia a few times and septasyma and many chest infections ,but as soon as I'm over it ,,,I'm back in the gym ,,,,,but now I go 3/4 times a week for 40/45 minutes ,this way I recover quicker better and feel better ,my aim after being diagnosed back in 1992 has always been to avoid  having to use supplementary oxygen,,,,and do far I've succeeded,,, so if you smoke STOP and YES ,,,,go to Pulmary rehab you WILL NOT REGRET IT ,
