What are good cardio workouts for people with asthma?

Allergy season is coming and my asthma will be aggravated, especially when running. Any suggestions on good cardio that I can sustain and keep up my exercise routine much appreciated. FYI: I use Advair.

Work into things slowly by building up your lungs and body. You can do any workout, but I would definetly reccommend starting with walking or swimming and getting into higher impact cardio after more training.

Also, tell your doctor what you are doing, and he/she may prescribe an inhaler (albuterol) to alleviate your problems.

    Swimming is good. Walking & running are better if you don’t do it first thing in the morning. Allergens are higher in the early morning.
