Exercise is a challenge when you have difficulty breathing. Pulmonary rehabilitation — rehab for your lungs — can help you breathe a little easier.

The American Council on Exercise says most pulmonary rehabilitation programs involve:

• Participating in cardiovascular, flexibility and strengthening exercises.
• Exercising under the supervision of trained professionals.
• Monitoring symptoms and medication changes to make sure you exercise safely and effectively.
• Learning about breathing techniques, managing symptoms and medications.
• Getting social support from others with lung conditions.
