I have been doing 30 day shed and after 10 minutes i have to stop because my chest goes so tight and i get burning in my throught then coughing up lots of phlegm for about half an hour after is this normal? Is it just because i am. So unfit?

This may be exercise induced asthma, which is easily treated so that you can exercise in comfort.

...as good shape as I think I am in, if I took a run right now, I'd be hacking up a lung!

I did a Cage Fitness class one day, and definitely suffered and hacked up phlegm.

haha made me laugh, I'm terribly unfit I gave up smoking a month ago so might have something to do with that as well
