I spent about one and a half hours cutting wood with a chainsaw today (about 2 tanks of gas). I took a long break between the two sessions of wood cutting.
Unlike my wood cutting earlier in the week, the work did not make me feel like I was blacking out. It was hard work and made me breath hard but it did not make me feel completely wiped out.
I attribute my improvement to working with the spirometer and doing things to exercise my cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Unfortunately, this heavy work does increase my coughing and it makes my chest hurt.
In summary:
90 minutes of cutting wood. Average heart rate >130 bpm with a peak around 160 bpm.
