Exercise is by far the best way to deal with CF, high intensity cardio to get the lungs working, anything that makes you cough up phlegm. I try to do at least half an hour cardio per day. I cannot stress enough how much working your legs, getting the breathing heavy to help shift any phlegm lodged deep down.

It is ESSENTIAL!!!!!!!!!
Staying as active as possible greatly improves the condition especially with sports that increase the frequency cardiorespiratory. It is important not to sobreexigirse because people with Cystic Fibrosis have less capacity so that should not be compared with other people. The maximum that EACH can give.
