Keep your puffer handy, if you need it, and start out slow. Any exercise is good for you both mentally and physically. Slowly work your way up to more intensity by walking longer, faster or on an incline. Try a few different things to see what you can do without causing an attack. I have seen people at my gym with their puffers handy. I would think that some form of mild exercise would do you more good than harm, but ask your Dr. first!!! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Make sure you treat it daily(beclovent,advair), even if you feel good that day and take a puff of ventolin/bricanyl before you work out.
