This Exercise Class is specifically for people who have a lung condition and who want to get fitter, reduce their breathlessness and get stronger.
The Exercise Class will be delivered online, using Zoom. Before participating in the class participants will need medical clearance from their doctor. This will be arranged by a referral form being completed by their doctor. This will be completed electronically and will not require the participant to go in person to see their doctor. I will also ask the participant to complete a health questionnaire before the first exercise class.
Blood pressure and resting heart rate needs to be taken before the first exercise class. Readings can be no higher than 180/100 for blood pressure and resting heart rate no higher than 100bpm. It is advisable to have a blood pressure machine to take your own readings. Blood pressure machines can be purchased from Boots, Argos, and Amazon. Here are some links for blood pressure machines:

Exercise equipment for the class is not essential but is advisable.
Weights and an exercise band are used in the class. Tins of beans, or small (full) bottles of water can be used instead of weights.
Exercise equipment can be purchased online, for example from Amazon and the Physical Company https://www.physicalcompany.co.uk/supaflex-x-band-1-5m-lengths
