My brother was very asthmatic when he was young and my parents got him into martial arts, which was the best possible thing for him i think since he was always the little short fat kid b/c of the prednisone for asthma/allergies. He is still seriously into martial arts. I'm trying to get him over to the dark side of taking part in one of the sports I do so that we can talk shop. He expressed vague interest in kayakking which would be cool but i have a feeling he won't get into it b/c of the cost of equipment. Tried to get him to go running with me, but he said no on account of the asthma. He still gets attacks pretty frequently.
