I just stopped smoking. When can I start exercising?!
Question: 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.?

Answers:
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.Health Question & Answer

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.Health Question & Answer
