I smoke, and im going to quite, im planning on getting fit eating right and excercising cause I want to loose some weight aswell but I was wondering does anyone know how long it will take to get fit so you can possibly run for like 3 minutes without getting out of breath?
Throw yourself in at the deep-end! I have done no exercise for years, smoked for the last decade and was struggling with the steps to my bedroom. Slightly shocked at this I decided to do something about it, so did the coast to coast bike ride. This jump-started exercising and I switched to riding a bike to work. I did this for two weeks, and then stopped smoking as well. The benefits of the 3 days solid exercise were apparent after a week. Not smoking has lifted my energy levels after 4 days - I got up early today, went for a jog with the dogs and rode out the Peak District on the way to work (extra 10 miles).
Like anything - the harder you push the more you get out. After a few weeks it (exercise) becomes as addictive as nicotine.
if you want get fit quick get a trainer, but I would say that it doesnt matter how long it takes its a lifestyle. to make healthy choices all the time, take the stairs not the escalator, park your car farther when you go to the shopping mall dont be in a rush to get fit. do what you can when you can and to set goals.
Well if you smoke and are unfit It might take a good while before getting fit (months) DEF quit smoking GREAT IDEA ... remember don't overwork yourself start out slow! well you might out of breath in 3 minutes because of the smoking. you might want to try walking instead of running right at first to get your cardio up!
I quit smoking over 9 months ago, when I fell pregnant. It was hard but I needed a good reason to stop the gross habit. I stil have cravings now. Good luck, I am trying yoga and pilates as am soo unflexible and need to ease into excercise.I want to look good by summer (december in Oz)
