Strength Exercises

Geoff, Yvonne and Mick from the British Lung Foundation do exercises to strengthen their muscles. Julie reminds them to use breathing techniques.

They repeat each exercise 10 times – that’s one set. Depending what level they are, they do 1, 2 or 3 sets. Some of the exercises use weights or resistance bands. This film lasts 33:20 minutes.
