How long should i wait before joining a gym after quitting smoking? -


i have been smoking for 12 years. i want to quit,and start taking up exercise and getting myself into shape. how long would i have to wait before starting to get fit/go to gym? ive heard its not healthy to start as soon as u have given up smoking? thanks
you should go to your doctor and see what he/she has to say. everybody-s body is different, so you should see what would be the best for you.
start straight away if you havent quite smoking still go to the gym.dont waste any time. lots of sports people smoke so get going, in time you will be pleased that you did . happy training
Ha!
Wait about 2 seconds.
The sooner you get started getting you body back in shape and your lungs clear, the better.
Great job on quitting!!!!
quitting smoking isnt going to be easy id suggest using working out to wean yourself off the cigs start off slow you get a craving for a smoke and you do ten pushups work on getting into working out slowly and the same with getting out of smoking. the working out will help take your mind off your cravings.

i dont see where it would matter much how long u waited to work out but if you want to be deffinate ask a doctor...but if dont think its a great idea to have a doctor help you quit with a plan my parents tried that and the doctor nagged at them for not quitting fast enough and it stressed them out and they still smoke

good luck with everything
Check with your doctor first. Your doctor can recommend a good program for you to help you. Good luck...I have a smoker trying to quit here, too!!
