Regular exercise is good for everyone. With proper asthma control, asthma symptoms should not prevent people with asthma from working out and having fun. Learn more about a treatment option.

If asthma determines what you do and where you go, it is affecting you.

Taking escalators instead of stairs

Avoiding the homes of friends with pets

Staying indoors when it’s cold

Limiting physical activity

If you've made these or any other changes in your life because of symptoms of asthma, you may be missing out.
