hi there i've been training for a couple of months now, but i get very out of breath due to my asthma, i was wondering if anybody knew any exercises that could help with this. thanks, and also i always suffer from shin splints so i was wonderin if anyone knew how to stop them from happening lol!

Use your pump before you start training of fighting in a match. Also relaxing in the ring can slow your rate down.

Also for shin splints you should wear actual running shoes and just continue running, sometimes your legs might not be used to it yet so it takes time.

Don't use the pump if you worry about "cheating" The inhaler is a steroid. My main sparring partner has asthma. 2 words my friend. Black coffee. Take a nice hot cut of black coffee with you. When it gets tough to breath. Take a sip. Just a little bit. You will thank me later.
