I also have over lap of asthma/ Copd, make sure you are drinking lots of water and it's good that you can do Zumba. As for the walking the doctor told me to start our with 15 minute walks 3 days and week and work up. He now has me at 45 minute walks. I am on oxygen, I always take that with me and also I use a cane as I find that helps too. Can't explain why.
I'm guessing you must be some inhalers, make sure you are using them daily even if you feel like you don't need them.
Let us know how your doing, we are hear to help each other out thru the go and bad times.
Better to get a treadmill it's safer and u can walk on the days weather permitted ,I set mine up I just started with it three weeks ago ,it go from .4to 4 mph and u set how fast keeps distance and cal counter , it also folds up ,has long arms and its made just for walking not jogging good up to 400 lbs too ,
What I just did was I bought a treadmill one with long handles so I can hold on while I walk I got it on Amazon and its working out great just do what u can til u build yourself up to more go slow I have one that go's from .4 mph to 4 mph it's motorised u set the speed and u can keep track of the distance and that way u will be able to know if it's helping u ,but being statuary is the worst thing u can do right now , take vitamin c and d and try and stay healthy ,
