Lung Exercises: Open Chest Expands Lungs

These videos demonstrate exercises for people with lung cancer, COPD and other breathing problems (consult your doctor).

[@rofu37]

I've been short of breath my whole life. You basically just gave me the gift of breathing.

[@ashkax]

My wife is an MD and got covid at the hospital. Came home and contracted it to me too. We did this as part of our fight with covid. It helped a lot actually. Thank you.

[@wayneshum]

God bless you two recover soon

[@wayneshum]

Great demo thanks Mom

[@whatsittoya842]

Thanks for sharing. God bless you both

[@codjh9]

I think I may have had it too (w/mild symptoms), and it really helps.

[@Kabeer186]

Jennifer Mayberry update it will help

[@misakitachibana1769]

My mom and I had both gotten really bad Covid pneumonia back in November, and our lungs were so weak and damaged afterwards, even breathing felt like a chore. My mom ended up finding your videos, and we did these exercises together. All I can say is, thank you so much for posting this!! You made so much of a difference in our lives and these exercises were imperative to helping our lungs recover! :) Still do them every now and then to help strengthen my lungs!

[@dux7627]

How are you now misaki?

[@Haanhthuuu143]

mee too just recovered from covid 19

[@perez5174]

This gives me hope! Im so anxious and want to recover already but im alive grateful and pushing through!

[@Cat-ui3vq]

I feel so depressed at the moment I have covid and I suffer with health anxiety I hope me and my little ones get rid of this ASAP I just keep crying will do these exercises with my kids

[@kmsy200]

I’m glad you and your mom doing ok . I know but never told me anyone do exercise for lung . Thanks for sharing your experience. My friend her daughter got Covid February 2022 , she is 15 years old . And she cough a lot . And doctor Sid 75 % of her lung works . We are just praying and trusting Lord . This is evil virus as the person made or government allowed to go all over the world . Will be judged one day by God taking life of human bin . Like Hitler took away human lives . Hope always be strong and healthy

[@harpo6203]

At 74, I've been experiencing shortness of breath after very slight activity. My finger blood oxygen level would always read between 92 to 94%. After finding this video my breathing is getting better and my blood oxygen is staying between 94% and 96%. Thank you so much!

[@BeesJournal23]

This video might have saved my life when I started having panic attacks in 2016. I still do it every time I feel like I’m about to slip. I will never forget the first time I did these exercises I felt like I hadn’t breathed in months. Thank you. 🙏

[@judithkcolbert8483]

Thank you, I have severe COPD and I went through pulmonary exercise class. These videos have become my daily exercise routine. I am getting stronger.🙏🏾❤️

[@viviananeet7364]

I can't thank you enough. I had childhood asthma and have terrifying memories of struggling to breath. Unfortunately the asthma has returned in my golden years and your videos have been a lifesaver. You are a regular part of my every evening regimen. When I feel an attack coming on, I immediately use the tools you've given me and calm down. I wish there were more than the four videos. Thanks!

[@pranjalimuley5034]

Great exercises , this exercises helped my father to recover from covid 19 soon and now he is becoming fit and healthy. Even me and my mom did these exercises though we didn't had any symptoms but at a safer side we did it. Thank you ma'am

[@caroltonsul8731]

Thank u for this video...I had covid pneumonia in December 04, 2021 not to long ago. I was at the hospital n the respiratory girl told me to exercise my lungs...I looked n thank God I found ur video. It has helped me alot, but first of all the honor n glory to God...

[@Ladyofvirtue247]

I was just diagnosed with that...I too am leaning and trusting God first. How long did it take you to feel better?

[@ej4478]

Thank you so much, I am 83 yrs. old and retired nurse. I always do this exercise following you everyday. Great work out. USA follower

[@roseari4143]

These exercises are amazing! Sometimes I experience a bit of breathing problems and chest pain, these are incredibly sufficient, they helped me a lot. Thank you so much!!

[@MatCendana]

This video series is from 10 years ago but is definitely one of the most helpful I've seen. I'm 60, with COPD and almost died due to bacterial pneumonia 14 months ago. For years previously, I had ignored all exercises. That hospitalisation was a wake-up call to be more proactive. I'm encouraged by the comments here, and will continue doing the exercises in this series. Don't know whether it's just my imagination, but I do feel my breathing is better than it was after doing just the exercises from two videos here. Let's see how it goes after a longer period.

[@pjmispop]

Hey, I've bacterial infection can you tell me what you did to recover and get better? Since I'm feeling really helpless

My lungs collapsed 5 years ago and until today I struggle with my breathing.. So I am looking forward to start doing these exercises. I just want to stop getting out of breath so quickly. 🙏🏾

[@christinme8375]

Thank you! My husband found your videos, and I have major history with bronchitis (which I'm dealing with right now) and even pneumonia. I did two of your videos and my lungs seem so open. I will come back to these tomorrow!

I am a big fan of this instructor. She is great- really clear and builds confidence. I wish I could find more videos by her in addition to the lung series.

Hi, Jane. We're glad to hear that you're a fan of Donna - our patients love her, as well! You can find exercise videos featuring her on our channel here: kzbin.info/aero/PLME9VJQhE-huAv4Haot7pMkG2-tnOulFi. We hope you enjoy these, and thank you!

[@gunshek]

I can't thank you enough for publishing this video. I have exercise induced asthma and have been struggling with that for a while. I get some tightness in my chest while playing and it obviously affected my game too. Cardiologist check went OK. The asthma doctor got me on inhalers. But, ever since i started doing this exercise, i have stopped using inhalers and my game has also improved. So, again .. thanks a lot.

[@leonoradebelen5373]

Thank you miss Donna .i feel better when i do this xcercice.thank you so much ..💖💖💖

Thanks a million The BEST exercises on KZbin ! I have started to do them. Feeling much better. Your exercises are gift from Heaven. God bless you, Donna. Stay safe and take care in that horrible time of Coronavirus pandemia.

[@godsakezz]

Thank you for these exercises. My neck and shoulders have always been strained. I can feel the tension relieved just from the first few exercises. Will hop by often to follow through them.

[@charldevilliers9434]

Thank you for this. As I recover from bad Covid and subsequent bad pneumonia, my physio pointed me towards your exercises. I find them empowering as there now something I can actually do as opposed to merely taking drs prescription medicine and resting in bed. Deeply grateful. Namaste

[@frankpezzuco6324]

This woman knows how to teach!! Especially explaining the coordination of breathing with the movements!👍

[@rosemarydaughter]

Thank you* These each made absolute sense* Especially ...you're reminding us... as to when to breathe in or breathe out. It's April 2022...and we three, each had some sort of respiratory "crud" that all Doctors in this area of Washington state are saying is not Covid...but some sort of "allergy" or" influenza" ...even though none of us have any allergies. This lasted for a little over 2 weeks, and was pretty scary at times...when we were coughing and could not get a breathe without starting another dry coughing session. Our oxygen saturation levels were...between lower 90s and sometimes high 80s. So now we are trying to do breathing exercises* We are all between ages 67 and 71+.

[@nerdychapina]

I have been having trouble breathing lately so I decided to research breathing exercises. This lady has been the best so far and I gotta say these videos are definitely helping me.

Really excellent, especially when you watch the internet and realize it's good to stop and do some exercises! Thank you so much!

Then when I go out of hospital, I go to the gym, as well as doing the KZbin lung exercises. Bookmark this, it's vital!

I've had a cold and major asthma attack 2 days ago. My chest was so tight that the muscles were painful all around the body. I really didn't want to go to hospital. I've had inhalers so they helped . The exercises have really helped me to breathe properly again. Really good to feel relaxed and be able to them too. My doctor would gever give me this advice. Thankyou so much.xx

This video is so easy to follow and it works. After the exercise, it gives me a lot of energy and I can walk faster without puffing. The open chest exercises also give me good posture. I will do it everyday as it takes only 10 minutes and gives good result. Well done and thank you for such a good video.
