Any interest in taking up swimming?
One of my friends from decades ago had asthma right through his teenage years, and was extremely thin and weedy. Couldn't exercise much without coughing fits and similar.
He took up swimming (!), and although it was slow going at first he eventually developed good lung capacity. And became a body builder. :)
Suspecting the same thing would work for anyone with not much (or damaged) lung capacity.
