Reddit reviews Cystic Fibrosis: A Guide for Patient and Family

I have to agree with the notion on cardio being the best bet. However, when I asked my doctor who studies this stuff and wrote an awesome book, he told me the following: "The best exercise is the exercise that you enjoy and will continue to do." It's easy to say that you should go jogging or do sprints, or pick up Boxing or Crossfit or something. If you hate all of those activities, you will never stick to the exercise regime and thus won't see any benefits anyway. I would suggest something you enjoy that also gets your heart rate pumping. I have been using a stairmaster pretty religiously (get's my heart going fast) and I use the gym's swimming pool and hottub as the carrot to motivate me to workout. I also enjoy tennis, so I play that when I can.
