Tips???

Question

My 15 year old sister wants to start working out(she loves to run) but she has exercising induced asthma so she feels like she can't do much. Is there anything y'all suggest for her?

Answer

I also have exercise induced asthma but still maintained to be on my school's basketball team as well as a team for my neighborhood recreation center.
It's all about the balance between self control but at the same, determination. She can still push herself. Make sure she stays hydrated.
Also always have her inhaler on hand!!!! 
If she feels short of breath have her raise her hands above her head and breathe slowly until she can get her heart rate back down.

Answer

Yoga?

Answer

I have asthma and I work out six days a week. If she can run, then she can easily lift weights, use the elliptical, stair master, etc. Cardio is usually the instigator for asthma attacks, so if she can handle a run, she could handle most workouts.

Answer

Same and arthritis.
Start slow. Don't push too hard. Keep inhaler at hand at all times!

Answer

She can do intervals. Run at a faster pace for a few min and then slow it down to a jog or walking for a few min. I had activity induced asthma in high school and loved running as well and that worked great for me.

Answer

Weights maybe?

Answer

What about lower key classes like Zumba? Or spin, she just doesn't have to work as hard...
