💥Best Pulmonary Rehab Exercises [Full Guide] ➜ ➜ ➜ bit.ly/3K7zlxY
➡️ 1. Diaphragmatic Breathing
This exercise focuses on the diaphragm, the primary muscle of breathing. Lie on your back with your knees bent. Place one hand on your upper chest and the other on your stomach. Inhale deeply through the nose, ensuring that the diaphragm (not the chest) rises, which you can feel with your hand on the stomach. Exhale slowly through pursed lips. The goal is to minimize the movement of the chest while maximizing the movement of the diaphragm.
➡️ 2. Pursed-Lip Breathing
This technique helps increase oxygen exchange and can help calm breathlessness. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Inhale through the nose for two counts. Then exhale through pursed lips (as if blowing out a candle) for four counts. This extended exhalation helps to open up the airways and improves the amount of oxygen that reaches the lungs.
➡️ 3. Lung Exerciser Device Breathing
There are several devices available that provide resistance when you breathe in or out, helping strengthen the lungs and improve inhalation and exhalation. To use, simply place your lips securely around the mouthpiece and breathe according to the device’s instructions. Make sure to maintain a tight seal around the mouthpiece to ensure effective resistance.

➡️ 4. Seated Marches
This exercise helps enhance cardiovascular fitness and lower body strength without putting too much strain on the joints. Sit straight on a sturdy chair with feet flat on the ground. Begin by lifting one knee toward the chest, then lower it back down, and then alternate with the other knee. Continue this “marching” motion, maintaining a steady pace, and ensuring you breathe consistently throughout the exercise.
➡️ 5. Seated Leg Extensions
This exercise strengthens the quadriceps, the large muscles at the front of the thigh, while also promoting blood circulation. Sit securely on a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Slowly extend one leg out in front of you, keeping it level with the seat of the chair, and hold for a moment. Slowly lower the leg back down. Alternate and repeat with the other leg. Ensure your back remains straight and supported against the back of the chair throughout the movement. Watch the full video for more!
