Just did my park flow, last time I did it was about 2 weeks before I had this flu chest and lung infection. I was pushing 450 easy before and after exercise. Did it there an I'm now 400, will this improve and go up to my 450 when I'm all clear from this guy thing.

Hope so I was doing everything I should be, I guess it's this bug that has pushed it down a bit.

The same for me Vittorio :) :) I don't think I have EVER been 450 or even 400...by the time I had my first peak flow test about 20 years ago I was already 250

in reply tovittorio

Same with me. I can only blow 100 on a peak flow meter. If you can blow 400-450....brilliant!

You were feeling quite poorly, David, and it does take a while to get back to full health. Hopefully your 450 will return as you recover. xxx

Hope so, taking withdrawal symptoms from the gym.

Hi david, glad you are getting over your chest infection. You could always try blowing up balloons (not with tnt) I gather that this is a good exercise for the lungs.

Regards JP

200 is my very best at the moment. I have been known to hit 260 earlier in the year but not for months now. My husband shows off with his 450, but he doesn't have lung problems! Lol!
