I’m 55 and have had asthma since I was 3. Struggled all my life to maintain my fitness level. This video was so informative, can’t believe none of the Doctors I’ve seen throughout my life haven’t given me such crucial advice. Thank you!
Thank you! This helps. I just started the 75 hard challenge and since fall just started and I’m not really used to exercising yet, I struggle with asthma way more. But I understand it better and will continue to exercise for sure!
Uk, Ive had asthma since birth. I've been jogging for 17 years [outside] and I've always carried a blue pump. I've recently joined the gym and have been going for 2 months. I'm finding that I can manage the crosstrainer without any issues but if I do 1 minute on the treadmill it seriously becomes difficult to breathe as normal. My heart rate before joining the gym was 165 but since I've gained muscle and become fitter it's gone down to 135 doing the same exercises with muscle workouts like dumbells and swuat machines. An intense workout brings it upto 155. I found out it was like that by doing some intense workout classes. So it's a winwin for me. I did pay for a 3 week personnel trainer but the lady pushed me on the cardio too much.. I was wheezing for the first time in 10 years. I kept on explaining asthmatics vary were not a guide book analogy. My brother is ex military and gave me advice to do 1 min walk 1 min jog 1 min sprint 20 seconds rest 1 min walk et cetera He said the military start on that minus the rest and gradually decrease the min to 40 seconds then 30 et cetera. Abd it works for me. I've found the military breathing style works best for me, aswell as sticking to the monotonous routine. 2x nose inhales and 1x mouth exhale. Also, using a blue pump prior to exercise helps and of course the clothing and foot wear. I've found loose clothing and nylon like materials work best with proper running shoes. They cost a small goetune but there so much more comfortable and do simply make it easier.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on asthma. I found the recommendation to exhale fully ( to dispel the CO2 buildup very interesting and am going to try that next time i am struggling to recover from asthma symptoms and the related anxiety.
Great. This tip helped me a lot when I used the gym and had exercise induced Asthma, I managed to get my breathing under control much faster, so I hope it works for you too.
@@ExerciseForHealth I recently cut way back on bread and wheat products, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in nasal inflammation ( which used to drip into my throat and lungs). I’m starting my third month of reduced bread and wheat products and am off the traditional inhalers for two months now. Just mentioning this because I feel there is a correlation - at least in my case.
I started running 5 k every week for two years, at the time my breathing was getting worse but I didn't know I had asthma, I just thought I had allergies. I was training during the week for the run but it was just getting harder and harder. At the end of the runs I was getting so out of breath and sheets it took me hours to recover and I wasn't able to do much for the rest of the day. It was then I decided to go to the doctors and get dignosed. I keep fit and try to do gentle cardio but it only takes one breath of someone's perfume, car exhaust, smoke, cigarette smoke and I am wheezy and have to stop and rest and then I am done. It is sooooo frustrating!
wish i could do exercises in any format. i have a rare asthma. called life threatening esionphillac asthma. ive been in intensive care and a coma 209 times. my lung function is hurrendous. been on steroid injections and steroids everyday for over fifteen years along side biologic lung injections. i am so overweight from my meds.
Oh wow, sorry to hear this, but thank you for sharing. It shows how debilitating a severe lung condition can be. I hope your health improves over time, and I wish you all the best.
Hi Bob, yes I do. Depending on how severe your respiratory condition is, I have done a number of videos on this. Check these out: 1. COPD video: ua-cam.com/video/vBhM-R0Tqjs/v-deo.html 2. Seated exercise video: ua-cam.com/video/EQAp0qsjlOc/v-deo.html 3. Playlist of other exercise videos (some should be OK for you): ua-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF.html
I had asthma as a child then it stopped but In recent years i developed sensitivity for smells it causes severe coughing that sometimes could last for days! I’m not sure if this case qualifies as an asthma or not! + in a recent development I found out I have low iron levels, i’m not anemic but my iron levels are very low and it causes shortness of breath when I’m doing absolutely nothing. Now I’m at a point where i need to exercise to lose weight but I’m not sure what kind of exercises i should be doing! pointing out that I’m obese.
My advice would be to start off gently. Be conservative and then build up gradually. Maybe start with some walking/ gentle cycling/ swimming. If you can get to see a personal trainer in a gym, they may be able to provide you with a structured programme to follow that will help manage both your weight and your breathing. For home exercise, check out the playlist of follow along videos I've done on this channel here: ua-cam.com/play/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF.html and I'm doing a very low level chair based one in a couple of weeks, if you find all of these routines difficult.
I wanted to do weight loss exercise at home without any instruments, but my asthma is not allowing me to do it. I do a warmup walk for 30 minutes and I'm so done during just warm up because of heavy breathing. Can you recommend me any exercise for weight loss that can also overcome this condition?
You'll need to do some aerobic exercise and strength based exercise for weight loss (along side a balanced diet of course). If you find that your asthma kicks in during the warm up, reduce the intensity and do it for longer to allow for an increased body temperature which might then in turn help with the breathing. Resistance training will also help without getting so puffed. Good luck
I have asthma since three years old. I really want to do exercise so bad to lose my weight (i'm girl with 157cm and 85kg). I once try HIIT exercise, and tbh my body feels so good, i'm sweating like waterfall even thought i have to pause several times due to out of breath. But please teel me, is HIIT a good everyday exercise for asthma person?
With asthma, you will know what you can manage. A HIIT training session EVERY day isn't recommended, but on 3 days a week as well as being physically active on the other days would be better.

That's good to hear that I've helped you, thank you
I’ve had asthma since I was born; I think I got it from my mum. I just wanted to say thank you this really helped
Glad it has helped you.
i'm 15 and i want to be more active but i'm so tired of not being able to breathe after a 3 minute run- thank u sm
Try and do a lengthily 10 minute gentle aerobic warm up indoors to increase your bodies temperature before going for a run. This might help
Thank you! This helps. I just started the 75 hard challenge and since fall just started and I’m not really used to exercising yet, I struggle with asthma way more. But I understand it better and will continue to exercise for sure!
Great job!
I just want to dance without losing my breathe every 2 minutes :(
Start slowly and build back up gradually.
I feel you girl😩😩
Plant soup can treat asthma. There will be no recurrence in the future.
Good advice thank you
You're welcome
Thank you useful information.
So nice of you, thank you

Great!

Start slowly and gradually build up to find your tolerance level.

can i do hard workout with asthma?
You can exercise at a high intensity but it will be dependent on your bodies response.
I have asthma since three years old. I really want to do exercise so bad to lose my weight (i'm girl with 157cm and 85kg).

Thank you so much for your advice, all of them help me a lot 😃
It's very difficult for me to even walk easily ..I just feel like I will get a heart attack 😢..
That's a shame. I hope things improve
Can you give me the exact specific exercises I should do to lose the wight
Your diet will have a greater effect on weight than exercise, but the info in this video may help you here: ua-cam.com/video/sqU9TATx7wY/v-deo.html
