Gain asthma control: Congratulations on wanting to exercise and lose weight! see an asthma expert such as allergist or pulmonologist. There are many medications available, strategies to avoid triggers and evaluations to check for other issues that worsen asthma to get you back on track. Don't give up on exercise!
