So I have started running because I get out of breath real easily, ive gained a lil weight, so i'm just wanting to get back in shape.

I have asthma, so when i run for even just like ten minutes, i am really hard at breathing for a solid 15 minutes.

I want to kick my asthma by getting back in shape.

Is it better to NOT take my inhaler? Or should I take my inhaler? What i mean is, will taking my inhaler be a cop out for my body to overcome its asthma?

I want to be able to run for 30+ minutes without being out of breath for more than a few minutes, like normal.



If you have asthma and use an inhaler, do NOT stop using the inhaler without direction of a physician.

You might want to try a product called vasopro which helps combat asthma, and also helps burn fat.

If you try this product you MIGHT be able to see some good cardiovascular gains with a regular routine. However I don't want to give you medically incorrect advice as I don't physically have access to your medical records.

Please remember that your health is #1 priority. Don't overwork yourself to the point that your asthma gets worse.

What would be the best approach at tanning trying to avoid skin cancer as well. Mainly focused on leg/arm tanning though, or just general works.

From general knowledge I'd assume

- Tanning beds = no go



You have two choices to avoid skin cancer.

1. 20-30 minutes of direct sun exposure every day with a good bronzer product. Tan for 3 days on 1 day off.

2. Go for the totally sunless tan (spray tan) they have perfected them a lot since the beginning and the orange color is a thing of the past.


Either way I recommend 15-20 mins of direct sun a day for good vitamin D support....so the first option is probably your best selection.

I'm looking for a good shoulder routine, but if you got a full muscle routine for my height that would be great .


assuming that your shoulders are lagging behind everything else, you are going to want to train them 2x per week.

try this routine:

Shoulder day 1 hemovascular: (no more than 15-20 seconds between sets and 30-45 seconds between exercises)

5 sets DB Front Raises alternating with 5 sets DB Lat raises (use medium/lighter weight and do 20-25 reps for each set for the first 2-3 sets, then for the next 2-3 sets you are going to go until failure with slightly heavier weight around the 15 rep area)

5 sets seated arnold presses (pyramiding up until failure)

5 sets wide-grip straight-arm cable pulldowns (dickersons) (medium weight, very slow reps, until failure)

5 sets machine shoulder presses (pyramiding up for 8-12 reps)

5 sets DB shrugs (pyramiding up until failure)


Shoulder day 2 strength: (at least 1 min between sets and 2-3 mins between exercises)


5 sets seated BB military press (5setsx5reps format with heaviest weight possible)

5 sets seated DB shoulder presses (5setsx8reps format with heaviest weight possible)

3 sets Standing gorilla presses (push presses) (4-6 reps as heavy as possible)

3 sets BB shrugs (8-10 reps as heavy as possible)



Make sure to keep these days approx 3-4 days apart. Keep hammering out the shoulders until they feel dead each time. If you don't feel nauseous and burnt out after each shoulder workout the first few times, you aren't going hard enough.


Make sure to

I understand the dangers of asthma. I am wanting to lessen the asthma symptoms, and working out will do that (cardiovascular ofc).

My question is, can i still do this while staying with my inhaler? Or will that keep my dependency on the inhaler? Should I work out without the inhaler in order to lower my dependency on it?

Thanks :D

they give off less UVB rays (which give the vitamin D you need)...tanning beds are mostly UVA rays which are also the most harmful.

I would avoid.

Ah I see what you're asking now.

Yes you can still gain cardiovascular superiority while using your inhaler when you get asthma attacks. In time, the attacks will lessen.

I also recommend trying vasopro, seriously a very good product for asthma patients.

I would try to stick to HIIT cardio over long distance cardio because of the ease of control, efficiency, and cardiovascular benefits

follow physicians orders. Stay off the ankle, apply ice if swelling occurs. take your anti-inflammatories, take all necessary meds (if any were prescribed), and avoid physical activity until better. Make sure to get enough nutrition and sleep each day to aid in the repair.

Alright thanks for the routine... I also got 2 other questions.. I been doing sprints for 30 secs every min 1/2 for 10 mins for 3-4 days out of the week to shed the rest of the fat away after my workouts, is that the best way? And I don't have a shoulder machine press at my gym( It's a private cop gym, it has a lot of weights but its also missing good machines) so what should I do instead?
