4. Work Out Regularly
Exercise helps your body produce feel-good chemicals such as endorphins, dopamine and serotonin. Stay motivated by keeping a fitness journal and having a gym buddy. Although exercise can induce asthma symptoms, it is important to exercise to keep your lungs and heart in shape. Seek a fitness professional to get an individualized plan just for you and adapted to your fitness levels and asthma symptoms. If you experience symptom aggravation during a workout, stop.
