A member asked:

Hi, i started exercising after a long time and had hard time. does it get easier with time where i wont lose my breath as much. thank you.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked: Before participating in any new exercise regimen see your doctor to check your heart and lungs. The concern is you stated you haven't exercised in a long time and sometimes your body will be shocked at this new regimen. Please see your doctor when you can to get clearance. Good luck
