Years ago, when I was just taking Theophylline, I would have my albuterol inhaler in my pocket at the gym and I would have to hit that thing constantly. Right now I am taking Advair, Atrovent and Singulair. I did the stair climber today for 15 minutes and walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes (10 years ago, I would've been on the floor after 20 minutes of aerobic activity). I haven't touched my albuterol inhaler in about 2 weeks. I felt no shortness of breath today and I never even thought about my inhaler. So I think the inhaled steroids are definately helping me.
