it took me about 2-3 tries, but I quit smoking and started running!. i previously ran cross country in high school, but got adrift in college smoking/partying!. i accomplished this change by:
1!. Being consistent!. Making sure I walk/ran a set distance every day at the same time!. It was a park across the street (did one 2 mile loop) every day at the same time!.
2!. Improving my speed through interval/burst running!. I started off walking mostly, but did small bursts of running to pressure my lungs/cardiovascular system!. Eventually my intervals got longer until I was able to run the whole circuit!. It took me nearly a month or a month and a half after about 2-3 years of smoking a pack a day!.
You may have been smoking longer, I don't know!. But I realized I was on the wrong track and it was pretty hard to quit and get healthy, but I did it!.
I would suggest you look up terms like Endurance/Running on the web!. There are a lot of simple schedules/routines to follow!. The best thing to do is make sure you are really stressing your lungs/body (don't over do it)!. You have to get your heart going!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Start walking up to 30 minutes a day!. You will need to cut down on calories because the average quitter gains 10-20 pounds in 6 months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
