If you have a really busy work schedule, finding ways to fit fitness into your day can be extremely challenging. One way to do so is to replace your regular office chair – both at home and at work – with an exercise ball. Just by sitting, you work on your posture, core strength, and can stretch throughout the day. Another great tip is to keep a stretch band in your desk so that, during breaks, you can work on your flexibility.

Combining the power of video and social media. Jerry will answer CF-related questions in a short format video. In this second part of a three-part series on transitions, we meet Ryan Randazzo. Like many kids his age, Ryan wanted to go out of state for college. But after weighing his options, he decided on the State University of New York at New Paltz, staying close to a CF center in case of an emergency. Ryan talks about the challenges of transitioning from high school to college, especially as it pertains to adjusting to a new schedule. He says some colleges will be flexible and accommodating to the needs of CF patients, but you should be sure to consult with your college about those options. Soon after getting to SUNY - New Paltz, Ryan was on his own, and very quickly learned the importance of maintaining your own schedule and having self-discipline when it comes to compliance. If you know you can go away to school with cystic fibrosis, he says, you can do anything in life.
