If you are huffing then you are working too hard. I also have exercise induced asthma but I have no problem as long as I watch my breathing. You should be able to hold a conversation while working out, if not, slow down. We want good aerobic exercise, we aren't training for a marathon:) The ellipticals at the club monitor your heart rate via the handles but I find monitoring invaluable. I know I'm working hard enough to get the workout I want without worrying about over doing it.

i would consult with your doctor about your exercise program, the last thing you want is to over-exert and induce an asthma attack! if you get in the 'huffing and puffing' mode you are working too hard for your fitness level... until you get a pulse rate monitor use the borg perceived exertion scale cdc.gov you should be able to carry on a 'slightly winded' conversation, or 'somewhat hard' on the borg scale one of the excellent qualities of the pulse rate monitor is that you will actually be able to track your progress, after exercising a couple of weeks you will it takes more exertion to raise your heart rate to the aerobic zone....that means you are making great progress! ask your doc about weight training too
