Ask a fat girl 2.0

Well, that makes it trickier, but not impossible.

How are you with a decent walk?  By that I mean, not trying to push yourself, is there a pace you can walk at that won't bring on the asthma?

Well, hills are a challenge for me. They are everywhere around here. However, the high school track works. I can walk four laps on it, which equals a mile, without needing to use my rescue inhaler. I started with two laps and in a week had increased it to four. Progress, right?

Exactamundo, spot on.  Start small, build up gradually and you'll be flying in no time.  Asthma shouldn't stop you, as long as it's managed properly.  Amy Van Dyken is a 6 time Olympic gold medalist swimmer, she has asthma pretty bad.

Avoid hills, get to that track and get to it.  if I were giving a couple of pointers, I'd say make sure that you track your work.  If that's in a diary, or an excel spreadsheet...whatever, just make sure you log what you do.  if you put in the work, taking a look back through your log will really lift you and help keep you motivated.

Also, I'd buy a heart rate monitor, can be as cheap as you like, but it will really help.  What it will do is make sure you're not working too hard....you'll be surprised, especially if out of shape, how easy it will be to get to that 70% mark.  That monitor will keep you in that fat burning zone and make sure none of your exercise is wasted.

Don't just take my word for it, it's been a long time since i did this as a job, but the theory is sound.  In a few months, you'll be flying around that track.
