Excersice vigorous can be bad and damage lungs more.

Light excersice is good for building up good resistance SO you can still function WELL in a fashion

Also gets you use to being out of breath AND helps circulation system ALSO helps keep pneumonia at bay as moving about so more likely to cough gunk up.
