I have had asthma since I was 2 years old, and suffer from exercise induced asthma as well as weather and food affected. Running is the worst for inducing asthma in me.
If I want to improve my asthma and my cardiac fitness, what is the best exercise for me to do?
light exercise and light swimming. because it is gentle and help develope your cardiac tissue. Donr over do it because the stress can make you drown or fall on a track. I have faults too because i have torn muscles in my knees. take time and do things very slow and you can do fun things , but please be careful. Also eat quality protein and fruit juice. Dont over do icant do it all. You can still be fit and healthy
I want to improve my balance, strength, stamina and muscle tone for getting back into riding after many years away from horses and riding.
Try anything with core training. Any leg work especially adductor and abductor, squats for glutes. If you do any upper body work, for example bicep curls, do them on one leg and make sure ou switch your legs for each set. Any fitness dvd that includes a good lower body work wll do great but make sure you get a good core workout.
I’m a sixteen year old girl, and I want to start exercising just to improve my general physical and mental health. But I’m slightly underweight and I don’t want to lose any more weight. I know running and jogging result in massive weight loss. Is there any exercise I can do that will improve my fitness and stamina but won’t make me lose that much weight? Please help.
That is a tough one! If you add any kind of exercise, you are going to burn more calories, so you’ll need to eat more! Add carbs (to fuel your body during exercise so you aren’t immediately burning fat), and protein (which is calorie dense and will help you maintain your muscle). Just adding a big glass of milk after exercise can help you with this.
To get your heart and lungs in shape, you don’t need to do a ton of exercise. Try 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a week. If that doesn’t feel like enough, add some walking (on hills, on a treadmill w/ an incline, or with lunges in between).
A lot of people don’t realize that when you start losing weight — a lot of what you lose is muscle (after a few initial pounds of water weight, which is no big deal). Muscle loss happens even if you’re losing that weight by exercising. So make SURE you add strength training to maintain your muscle. (It will be a lot harder to get back than fat). You can do this without equipment by googling some body weight and core exercises like squats, lunges, pushups, planks, and crunches. (You can even do JUST these kinds of strength exercises, with some jumping jacks, jogging in place, or jumping rope in between sets, and some stretches at the end, and you’ll improve your fitness in a really well rounded way. Squats and other leg exercise do a surprisingly great job of getting your heart rate up.).
Running and jogging do create a very high calorie burn, and also tend to cause you to lose muscle if you do a lot, but they are a great/fast way to get in shape. You can also try anaerobic exerexercises (very intense exercises you can’t maintain for very long, like jump roping or short sprints). These do burn a lot of calories and rev your metabolism (eat!!), but they don’t break down fat the same way other exercises do (like the elliptical, jogging). And they WORK your heart and lungs for great fitness and stamina in a faster time.
Good luck!

Can there be anything that has a greater impact on our happiness than how well we feel physically? Exercise and proper nutrition can play a vital role in our mood and our sense of well-being.
Exercise is all about keeping your body-well tuned. A well-tuned body can handle everything better, including everything that is happening in your body at a microscopic level. When one’s body is happy, so is one’s countenance.
Nutrition is about getting the right ingredients to your body to cook up optimum health. If money can’t buy happiness, health can…or at least, it can help you avoid unhappiness.
Both exercise and good nutrition help you feel energized, which is an important component in motivation, in extroversion, it feeling optimistic and in so many other key indicators of happiness. Happiness is about much more than fitness, but fitness should not be overlooked.
I asked Atlanta-based personal trainer Corey Ritter to provide a few fitness tips for increased energy and reduced stress, that I could share with my Daily Dose of Happiness newsletter subscribers:
Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #1:
Eat lean protein every three hours! Proteins main function: Help build and maintain healthy muscle. Which in-turn will help increase your metabolic rate to assist in burning body fat. Good sources: Egg Whites, Chicken Breast, Sirloin Lean Steak, Lean Ground Turkey, Fresh Fish, Protein Shakes.
Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #2:
Walk around the block. There are many benefits to be gained from walking. These can include more energy, deeper and more satisfying sleep, stronger leg muscles, lower body fat, higher metabolic rate, and reduce stress! Everyday for 20-30 minutes at a brisk walk. Preferably first thing in the morning!
Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #3:
Stretch, Stretch, Stretch. Anytime, but at least once a day one week before the wedding. Increases flexibility, reduces stress, improve coordination, increase circulation and it feels good, just to name a few benefits. Hold each stretch for a minimum of 10-30 seconds, repeat 2-3 times.
Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #4:
Avoid simple carbs! Their rapid absorption increases the chances of sugar converting to fat! Stay away from foods like: Bagels, pies, cakes, potato chips, many ready-to-eat cereals, white pasta, white bread, juice drinks with added sugar, alcohol, candy, soda pop, and syrup!
Personal Trainer Fitness Tip #5:
Drink plenty of fresh, clean water. Yes, I know that you have probably heard this one over and over again. But there’s a reason for that – it’s that important! It aids in fat loss, detoxifies the liver and kidneys, and carries away waste from the body. It is recommended for best results to consume 8 10-ounce glasses of water per day.
There you have it, five top fitness tips from one of North America’s top personal trainers. Following these tips should help you become both healthier and happier. Are they easy? No, especially not with billions of dollars of advertising telling us we can eat chips and soda pop, and pressure from all sides to cram more things into the hours some of us might otherwise be exercising. Do what you can. Any improvement is better than none, right?
Happy fitness.

Any thoughts? Has anyone tried? Has anyone’s doctor recommended or discouraged this?
I use one all the time. It’s really comfortable and conforms to your body rather than sitting on a stiff chair. At my childbirth class they suggested sitting on one during pregnancy, and bringing it to the hospital for labor.
Just make sure it’s a decent quality and burst-proof, so if you roll over something sharp it won’t explode or anything.
