    National Academy of Sports Medicine answered:

    Individuals can become short of breath when exercising if they are new to exercise or have been sedentary for long periods of time and have recently become physically active. If you are not new to exercise and unexpectedly begin to experience shortness of breath, then consult with a physician to rule out any medical conditions.
