Well done Cem

I've just stopped smoking so hope I'll feel a bit better from that in a few weeks time

within a month you will feel the change.. my wife quit smoking 2.5 months ago and I'm watching her going better day by day..

[cem_devecioglu]

it has been several months I'm forcing myself on threadmill so that either I'll dry up on threadmill or have a heart attack..
 
and there was always a pain behind my heart less or more which I think is a blood artery some xx percentage blocked which I had no courage to test with doctors   (I still smoke -for more than 30 years- yes I know I have to quit)
 
interestingly pain diminished within months so that I can walk (not run - running easy as you jump) 5 kms in 50 minutes.. also I can continously walk at 6.5 kms/hr (at least for 2kms)  and reach a peak of 7.5 km/hr ( at that speed my left leg muscles cant keep long )
 
more importantly , now I dont have breath problems at night, I dont have pain in my left pelvis and I dont get flue frequently

Well done Cem. Keep it up ..... don't beat yourself up too much about the smoking though. The more people nag you to give, the more I wanted to tell them to keep their nose out/opinion to themselves.  You'll eventually decide that YOU want to give up, and then you will. I smoked from being about 15 until I was 40. I've not smoked for the past 11 years (I barely remember that roll up at Newent 2011 - so doesn't count!  )

thanks Andy

Well done Cem  Im not likely to join you in a treadmil race anytime soon 

I have started with 1 km .. yes 1km.. later I increased the distance and speed ..  imo everyone has to race with himself/herself..
 
and I learned that endurance and long distance is more important and good for your body, not speed.. I gave the measures just to reflect my effort..  besides I try higher speeds  to increase my heart rate as slow walking was not enough..
 
if you decide to walk on a threadmill  there are heart rate periods for age groups you must strictly obey that..

thanks Kevin     I also discovered that AC DC can pump your heart more blood  and oxygen to your lungs   seriously it helps your tempo..
I cant walk with sleeping musics
 
my weight was going up every winter but this time no and loose some but cant measure exactly as my body keeps water in changing amounts (kidney problem )

Hmm. Not considered music. I do like a bit of Angus but, on the road, I fear it's likely to provoke either a road rage incident or a running out of talent on one of the downhill sections. That's going to hurt on a bike.

Keep up the good work, Cem.

Plenty of sex will also help to keep your heart healthy.

Keep up the good work. 

I always listen to heavy metal music when doing 10 miles (16km) on my bike turbo trainer, usually Black Sabbath or Metallica. 

I was out on my bike at the weekend doing a few miles, but with our very cold weather at the moment it doesn't motivate you. 

I find using heart rate meter to keep within a heart range, to see my time and calories used increasing, helps to keep it interesting and the motivation high. 

I'm a firm believer that keeping fit and active is one of the main secrets of a long life. My great uncle at 80 still did manual work every day and was fitter than most 50 year olds and lived until he was 98.  He also enjoyed his cigars.

Fortunately, I've never smoked, so have no problems there, but I have put on about 8kg in the last 2 years. I normally lose weight during the summer, but with last years bad summer it didn't happen.

Keep it up mate - think I'll start taking more exercise once it warms up a bit here

Whatever your age is, I'll recommend exercise , you will feel much better

Dont wait for weather to warm up..   
 
last week I visited a hospital (sports section) the doctors there were making very unusual exercises with their patients   which I have no idea about.. as I see human body needs very different kinds of exercises and you can apply them at home anytime

[cem_devecioglu]

welldone cem keep it up         

[i only wish i could do it]
 
thanks Ozzy   I'm sure there are many exercises you can do [/i]
