Answer 1

Take it slow then. Do a little excercise regular and often and gradually increase it. And stop smoking if it bothers you that much!

Answer 2

I would go see the doctor before you start any exercise regime, he will be able to tell you what is the best exercise to get you going and what you can move onto after a few weeks, but walking is a good one to start off with, just a slow 10 min walk everyday for a week, then build it up by 5 mins each day till you have got to half an hours walk each day, I am pretty much in the same boat as you too, I smoke and have had little exercise too, I have an injury that stops me doing the ruffy tuffy exercises so I just go for a walk each day with my dog and I have lost some weight but better than that my body shape is beginning to change with all the walking I am doing, next on my list is the fags, gonna give it a go from Monday, are you going to try stop too, good luck.

Answer 3

Your body is more restorative than you think. Start with something slow and easy, like walking for 15-20 minutes a day. Then you can gradually increase the amount of time as well as the pace.

Once you feel the effects and want more of a challenge, try something you enjoy and will therefore stick with on a regular basis. It doesn't matter what the exercise, as long as it gets your heart rate up.

And...not to lecture because I know you've heard it before. But if you can quit smoking, you'll feel so much better!

Good luck! :)

Answer 4

"...i smoke 30..." you smoke 30 cigs a day, 30 packs a day? you are 30? which is it?

The body is designed to be exercised in moderation every day. You don't have to go at it like a teenager or child. Start with parking farther from the door when you go to work or go shopping, walk in. Set aside ten minutes of your lunch break every day to walk. Gradually increase the time you walk and the distance you walk, and be prepared to be short of breath, if you smoke, you will be. Exercising is a great way to quit smoking by the way, it releases endorphins into the blood that remove the craving for nicotine.

Answer 5

Your body will cope. Just take it easy when you first start out. Stop when you feel any kind of discomfort, but start and do it regularly 5-6 days a week. You will see an improvement very quickly. Just don't jump into anything that's too stressful or too demanding. Also stretch after exercise to keep from getting sore.

Answer 6

Congratulations on wanting to start to exercise. One of the the main things you need to do is consult with your doctor before ever entering into a n exericse routine. He/she may be able to help you find one to start that would be easier on yous ince it has been 10 years. Also it is reccommended that you stop smoking. If I can quit then you can quit. I smoked for 6 years straight one pack a day and one day it just made me so sick to my stomach, I couldn't do it anymore. I got tired of it. I feel so much healthier now than I ever have before. ie xerpcise 3 times a week, 30 mins a day, and that is my perfect stress release. if you wan to get healthy you MUST get rid of th toxins youa re putting into your body. Going ot your doctor is the first step.

Answer 7

Just do it. Start out slow. Pick you up a little pair of hand weights (10 - 15 lbs), some Velcro wrap around leg weights (5 or so lbs). Do exercises at home in comfort. Start out slowly and do about 10 repetitions of each routine. Do that daily for about a week, then add 5 more repositions to each routine. Each week keep adding repositions. You'll be fine. I smoke, too, and that's my exercise MO. At least it used to be. I haven't done it in about a year.....I've been trying to talk myself into picking it back up again, and this just may be the incentive I needed. Thanks.

Answer 8

Start slow. Just walk about 30 minutes a day at least 4 days a week. Then take it up to an hour. Then walk faster. Then start jogging part of it... and so on and so on. Build up to it.
