Getting into a consistent exercise routine can be difficult, even more difficult for those who rely on portable oxygen concentrators while they exercise. Luckily, there are easier ways to improve your health and your breathing rather than exercising at the gym.
Yoga
You may have seen a yoga class in passing and thought, “This won’t do anything for me,” and went about your daily routine. It is actually quite the opposite. Yoga is considered one of the most relaxing forms of exercise. Yoga involves controlled breathing techniques during the entire workout. Yoga brings a calming relaxation to your body, mind and helps to improve your lungs. Simply setting aside twenty to thirty mins a day for deep breathing yoga exercises will be extremely beneficial for those who practice oxygen therapy. In addition, it will help to circulate oxygen throughout your entire body. The different variations of poses performed stretch out your muscles and joints and help to strengthen your body.
Once in a consistent routine, you will feel a difference in your stamina and energy throughout the day. An improvement in focus, ease and well-being due to the increase in oxygen that your brain receives from the concentrated breathing during your yoga exercises.
One concern many people have when using their Portable Oxygen Concentrator during yoga is the cannula tube. This however, should not be a problem, because yoga requires no fast or agile movements. All that needs to be done is the replacement of your standard-length tube with a longer cannula tube. Proper placement of your POC before each stretch will ensure you have no problems while you work out.
