Hi. I am Cherry, a 23 years old girl who is diagnosed with asthma since I was a child. I find hard to lose weight as I couldn't run or do intensive exercises except for badminton without my inhaler. Is it possible for me to lose weight if I do the following exercises six times a week? The exercise plan are 1 hour of weight loss quick walk speed between 3.8 to 5.5 on treadmill, 30 mins of weight loss quick walk on Elliptical trainer and 1.2km quick walk on the track on treadmill.
Please advice. Thank you.

I also have asthma. It was hard when I was younger and probably the reason why I have not started running/jogging like I would like it. I could play soccer, but tell me to run laps or anything like that and I couldn't do it.
Ok my tips -
Take you inhaler before you do any work out (10-20mins before)- this should help you out. You can do that work out and you should be able to lose weight that way, but as you go push yourself farther and harder. You will plateau doing the same work-out over and over. You asthma should start to get better and easier to manage as you go. Also as you lose weight it should not bother you as much. You have to learn how to breath while working out. I find this has helped me out a lot.
Trust me..I was a serve asthmatic - been on the strongest inhaler they have out there. Use to be needing a new inhaler every month because I did not have control and when ever I did any type of work-out I could not breath. I just kept going and pushing myself. Now I don't even use my inhaler. I know that I have to control my breathing and everything will be ok.
However do not push yourself to have an asthma attack...take it slowly and you will get there.
Hope that this helps you0 -
