I think you've answered your own questions DEM. You can't walk outside without needing to use up too much albuterol. And if you exercise indoors you don't need the albuterol. And you can't afford the Advair to prevent needing the albuterol when you walk outdoors.
I think are right on the money when you say you need to work out indoors right now. How to do it is the problem judging from your post due to financial concerns.
If you really have no other way of exercising indoors, go to a building supply store and buy a concrete block (should be less than a $1 or $2). Use it as a step and walk up and down it, doing a step workout, like in-place stair climbing. Or find stairs somewhere that you can use to walk up and down to work out. Running in place, jumping rope, all low-cost indoor workout options.
Good luck! I have asthma too, I know what a pain it is!
Interesting that all my life my doctors told me that my weight didn't have anything to do with my asthma, but not too long ago I read there actually is a large correlation between overweight and asthma. You could say it was the asthma causing the overweight, but I really think it's the other way around, no matter what the doctors say. I think being overweight somehow makes us more prone to asthma. Off topic, and only my own personal (and uneducated) opinion based on my own experience.
