Your guide to exercising with asthma.

Years ago, everyone thought strenuous physical activity was dangerous if you had asthma, but now we know better. Exercise is not only safe if done properly, it's an integral part of treatment. Regular workouts will make you stronger and more energetic and reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. What's more, your asthma is likely to improve. Studies have shown that physically fit people have fewer attacks, need less medication, and lose less time from work or school.
