my first asthma attack occured indoors, at a gym, in the afternoon (the A/C wasn't turned up high enough). I have found that excercising in the morning is more effective for me, and also helps with my asthma.

Every gym I've been to has always had the a/c on to make it very cold with low humidity

Hey bro, I really appreciate your input, thanks a lot.

Well...when I'm doing cardio it's just that I look at the timer too often, but I'm always listening to music so I can take my concentration elsewhere.

The gyms I've been to are always air conditioned so for me any time of the day is just right.

I took the batteries out of my bike. Try covering it up with a towel. You could also try printing off song lyrics to the music you're listening to and covering it with that and follow along with it.

I listen to techno mostly, so no lyrics... lool :P

but thanks for the advice

lucky duck! The stairmaster triggered an asthma attack. I hated those machines before and I will continue to hate them now.

Im no pro at this but maybe some others can chime in... would a chest press benefit our friend here? When I do chest presses alot I knda lose a little of my chest. Just a thought.

Oh and btw guys, about my workout today - I went to the gym with 2 of my friends, which kinda motivated me, did some cardio on the treadmill and stationary bike and I did some weights as well. Pull ups - 3 sets of 10, and I worked on my shoulders and chest - low weights but a large number of reps. I also had a light dinner, and had a sandwich a few hours later, and a light breakfast just now. So what's new for me is working out with weights, and I'm trying to eat smaller, healthier meals more often.

I'll keep you posted and I appreciate all the inputs - and thanks for the tip, Samantha, I guess I'll have to see what weights help me the most.
