    Exercise Tolerance

    Hi Dan - I have just started exercising again recently after a hiatus. I am a 48 y/o with CF. My FEV usually runs in the low 30s. I finished pulmonary rehab (a four month process for me) and am now exercising on my own. I'm nowhere near fitness wise where Jerry is but I am aspiring to that...
