Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks everyone who gave me feedback. Not looking to quit or to lighten up - as a matter of fact I want the most intense workout - but safely - The asthma thing is not an excuse its just a slight nusance I have to deal with but millions do and so will I - I am going to work on building up my endurance using the " Beginners Running Guide " in the files section and just keep building my endurance level until I can run the full 30 minutes. If it takes 8 weeks...10 weeks...12 weeks...so be it - better than sitting on the couch eh!? Once I get to the full 30 minutes of running I will work to increase speed, etc. Thanks again...I love this group because of the support and honesty!! Quote
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 I just have one more addition. I also have occasional asthma from cats, dust and sometimes exercising - especially when I'm out of shape (like after getting fat and birthin'). If you have an inhaler (I happen to use albuterol for acute attacks), hit it before you do your cardio. You'll be able to get more oxygen in, and you won't feel like you're choking and wheezing. As you get more fit, you'll use it less. Or bring it with you and use it as needed. Sian > > Thanks everyone who gave me feedback.
