Quit Smoking as of today going to basic for army in 27 days? -
I have 27 days to get back into shape ive been running and doing push ups and situps but its still hard to breath from time to time so i quit smoking was woundering if ne one has advice on how to incress my lung capacity and fast!!!
Try Bikram Yoga. It worked good for me. I smoke a pack a day and I was looking for ways to run and do exercise without dying with smoker-s lungs. A friend of mine recommended it, For the first couple of sessions it was like hell to breathe but now feels so much better.
You can exercise your lungs just like most parts of your body. Running is a good start but I suggest doing deep breathing exercises also. Take the deepest breath you can take. Hold it as long as you can and then exhale slowly till all the air is out of your lungs. Breath normally for a few minutes and repeat several times per day. This will increase you lung capacity.
for an overall workout,swimming takes some beating,it really works your lungs and your body.start with ten lengths and increase by ten every two days till your doing 60.finish with a nice sauna or steam bath if you can,i guarentee you-ll feel like a million dollars after a couple of weeks and it-ll show.best wishes ..james.f
for your lung capacity you should practice holding your breath as long as you can consistently until you get good at it and can hold it from 50 - 60 seconds but a good reason your lungs are tired is cause your heart is too weak remember to keep jogging
Tryout some Breathing Execises.
