The last 3 years have seen my health suffer badly, due to bouts of flu viruses & pneumonia, sprinkled with menopause, stress and resulting in severe asthma attacks. Until 18 months ago, I have never experienced asthma, and am still learning to live with and manage it.
In the search for a solutions, I started a buteyko breathing process to "correct & re-educate" my breathing patterns. In discussion with my chiropractor, this lead to taking up swimming to exercise the lungs gently using a snorkel to rebuild my aerobic ability to exercise. This blog is my journey..........
Dec 31, 2012. NYE. I decide to commence my 'lung rehab' and swim 3 times a week using the snorkel & flippers. I manage 4 laps with 1 minute breaks in between each - it's a great start! I haven't been able to do more than the odd 20 minute walk so my journey begins today.
