Who is exercising?

Pen, if you take smaller bites you'll get more exercise due to more reps. ;) I've been going to the gym since July. Not steady, I'm afraid, but still much more than I used to do. Mostly treadmill and elliptical, although I've also used the resistance machines. Last month I started with a personal trainer once a week in hopes I'll learn the right way to do things (finally) so I'll make better progress. My goal was to return to my pre-quit weight of 226 before today, but I hit 230 last month and just cannot punch through. Note I'm not doing serious dieting, just trying to eat better than before. However, my clothes fit better/looser than they did a year ago. Must have rearranged something.

Good ones, Likewise haven't exercised in over 3+ years. Started may 01, 2006, with Running 3 days per week, then either Biking, weights, swimming, or stretching type workouts 2 other days. On weekends like to let the body relax and do nothing but maybe golf. Keep on Quitting everyone it's tuff but can be done. ;) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/15/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 128 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,672 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $640 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 20 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 39 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

I enjoy running on the treadmill while listening to audiobooks. The running burns the cals at a nice rate and I get on to other activities soooner than if I walked.

Great thread Breaking Free! There are a lot of advantages of being smoke-free and you have experienced it up close and personal. I enjoyed working out as well once I quit smoking. I have to admit I like the cardio and then work towards strength training. I ran my first 5k after being 6 months smoke-free. Thanks for opening our eyes to the benefits of being smoke-free.
