I just stopped smoking. When can I start exercising? -
I just stopped smoking two days ago. I was sick of the way it made me feel. I want to start running again. I assume the smoking damaged my lungs enough that I shouldn-t just start running like I used to; how long should I wait before starting an exercise routine?Start off by jogging, and if that is even still too much for you, try powerwalking without taking any breaks.
You should do this for a week or two, and no smoking.
After the 1-2 weeks is up, depending on how you feel, you should start either jogging faster or running.
If you still don-t feel right after 1 to 2 weeks, try jogging until you feel more comfortable, remember to breathe while you are jogging/running and bring water.
It would also help if you are able to jog/run in a place that has good air quality and is not too polluted.You can exercise right away, you don-t have to wait just because you were a smoker. It actually might be easier for your non smoking routine to exercise.
It most likely will be better for you and your lungs to start off slowly.
Try a walk run program to get yourself back into shape but if you haven-t been running in a long time you might want to start off with walking first and then go into a walk run program which will lead you back into a full run.
Good luck.
Just run. You may not be able to run like you used to. Don-t worry, you-ll know your limitations when you try. If you find yourself too tired to go on or faster, you-ve found your current limit. It-s no different than beginning running any other time, regardless whether you smoked or not.well i did the oppisite i started smoking to stop eating so much
i work out hard everyday and i am fine
i dont think you need to worry
my plan is to quit again after i lose a bit more
