Intervention group participants will be enrolled in a standardized step-based program to gradually increase their physical activity. Daily steps will be measured via a pedometer application on a smartphone or wearable device, with a gradual increase in the goal on a weekly basis, with a target intervention of around 4-6 weeks in total. The first week's step count will be used to calculate a baseline step count for the week. At the start of each week, the participants will be asked to increase their daily step counts by 1,000.

Any improvement in the score will be considered an improvement, since other than physical activity changes via step counts no other pharmacologic or lifestyle intervention will be made. Results will be compared to a control group who complete the survey without any intervention at two dates separated in time. Improvement in asthma symptoms can improve quality of life for participants. As noted by developers of the questionnaire being used in this study, "the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire has been developed to measure the functional (physical, emotional, occupational and social) problems that are most troublesome to adults with asthma … the impact that asthma has on a patient's quality of life cannot be inferred from the clinical indices." Descriptive statistics including means, standard deviations, medians, and interquartile ranges for continuous variables and frequency counts and percentages for categorical variables will be presented.
