Sadly smoking does not affect my workouts. I smoke one before the gym and one almost right after. I've become better at running. I wish it would affect my workouts and then it would maybe give me more incentive to quit. Right now I simply do not want to quit badly enough.
You wont realize how much it effects you till you quit. You may not be pushing yourself hard enough if at all...
That is a good point, but right now I am pushing as hard as it will allow. I certainly did not come in here to have someone tell me I may not be pushing hard enough.
amen. im still taking my workouts to a new level on a weekly basis. my smoking hasnt hindered it at all. i push myself hard, and am dripping with sweat at the end of my 800 cal gym sessions. how is going to the gym 2 hours each day and working straight through not pushing myself, especially since ive only been working out for only a month??
For the record i wasnt talking to Leah...anything she does is a ok with me!

Arent we being a little sensitive. Didnt mean to bruise anyones fragile "im a workout god even though i smoke" ego. Anywho, the point was that your body has no idea how far it can acutally go because your smoking self can do about 30% of what your non smoking self can do.
FROM EXPERIENCE! the same workout that made me sweat before only now feels like a little warm up. that was my point.
sensitive much?
I certainly didnt come here to make you cry :sad:
I completely agree with you. When I smoked, it was so much harder to work out. NTM my heart rate was going up to 170 BPM. Now the same workout has my heart running at 137 BPM.
thank you for actual data to support what i said! that was my point...again, didnt mean to hurn any ones "feelings"....ugh...feelings
Sorry but I agree that I didnt realize it was slowing me down until I quit and then was able to do even more than before, when I thought i was already at the top of my game.0 -

now this confuses me. if my smoking is getting my heart rate up faster and for a longer period of time, then isnt that benificial in a way? wouldnt i burn more calories doing an easier workout if my heartrate is at 170?
but then again, the machines say im burning just as many calories based on speed and level. this heartrate thing confuses me.0 -

Your heart doesn't have to be working that hard in order to burn fat. My target heart rate was only 127 to burn fat. If you want to have a heart attack while working out, be my guest and continue smoking. I'm sure you also breath much heavier then most of the other people at the gym as well.0 -

I think i get what your saying. You're wondering why having the higher heart rate wouldnt be better for you/burn more cals. I'm not really sure, but i believe your blood vesceles are constricted when you're a smoker (esp right before and after a work out) and your heart pumps faster to get blood into your cells and therefor has to do more work BECAUSE you are a smoker which makes the heart rate higher...

If your not ready to quit then it is pointless to attempt. You have to want to quit or you will go right back to smoking. I don't know how he quit, but I did quit cold turkey without any quit smoking aids. I also have a great deal of willpower and always achieve my goals.0 -

I'm one of those people who just doesn't get why people say it's so hard. How hard is it to stop sticking something into your face and lighting it? (smoked off and on for more than 20 years; easy to start; easy to stop) I haven't smoked in about 10 years now. It made me feel yucky.0

I quit using nicotine patches and weed. I thought i said that already?
The nicotine patches took the edge off, the weed helped my mind not dwell on cigarettes.
After i was off the patch compelely for 3 weeks, i reduced the weed. I still smoke week when i work out, but thats pretty much it. I'm really not a "pot head" i'm way to smart and functional to be considered a "stoner" perse.0 -

see, your not dumb!0 -
My advise to you is to go out and buy a huge bag of Dum Dum lollipops. They helped me quit without totally pigging out. When I eat them, it's kind of the same movement as smoking, hand to mouth, they last about the same amount of time as a cig, and they are satisifying enough to do the trick. Dum dums are not exactly healthy for you, but at only 35 calories each, they are a lot better than chips or fries or whatever you weakness is.0

Not even going to bother reading all the responses.
I smoke a pack a day. It in absolutely no way hinders my endurance or strength. No plans on quitting anytime soon. Yes, it's bad for me. A lot of things are. Don't care.
Now excuse me while I go puff a smoke.
Oh and all this nonsense about "Omg it's so hard to quit".... If you want it badly enough, you'll do it. That applies to anything in life. Stop making excuses. I don't want to quit, therefore, I'm not.0 -

So not even fighting you. Your comments have no affect on me. Your in a form and looks as thought people are asking advice and opinions. I speak my mind and have no need to sugar coat things. I just don't see why your losing weight in the first place if you smoke. I thought weight loss was about being healthier. It's a major contradiction to continue smoking.0 -
how do you add pics in here cuz i cant figure out how to do it!0

No problemSadly smoking does not affect my workouts. I smoke one before the gym and one almost right after. I've become better at running. I wish it would affect my workouts and then it would maybe give me more incentive to quit. Right now I simply do not want to quit badly enough.
You wont realize how much it effects you till you quit. You may not be pushing yourself hard enough if at all...
That is a good point, but right now I am pushing as hard as it will allow. I certainly did not come in here to have someone tell me I may not be pushing hard enough.
amen. im still taking my workouts to a new level on a weekly basis. my smoking hasnt hindered it at all. i push myself hard, and am dripping with sweat at the end of my 800 cal gym sessions. how is going to the gym 2 hours each day and working straight through not pushing myself, especially since ive only been working out for only a month??

sensitive much?
I certainly didnt come here to make you cry :sad:
I may have been a little overly sensitive, no crying here though. I stated that I do understand what you are saying, but with that said I am not at a point of wanting to quit. I most certainly shouldn't quit right now, while being overly emotional and sensitive.
How exactly did you go about quitting? I know most men quit cold turkey. I really didnt mean to demotivate you.
I quit using nicotine patches and weed. I thought i said that already?
The nicotine patches took the edge off, the weed helped my mind not dwell on cigarettes.
After i was off the patch compelely for 3 weeks, i reduced the weed. I still smoke week when i work out, but thats pretty much it. I'm really not a "pot head" i'm way to smart and functional to be considered a "stoner" perse.
Oh you didn't, it's all good.
I'm terrible about not reading others posts, so I must of went right over it. I've tried the nicotine patch before, but it burned/itched my arm. Maybe if I want to quit badly enough, then it could possible help me. I can see exactly how weed would help, I use to be a pot head. Funny it was easy to stop smoking weed, but not the cigarettes.
You smoke weed and then go work out? lol :laugh:0 -
Being a blonde has nothing to do with it. I'm naturally blonde myself and am not an idiot.
wow it was a joke (since im not even naturally blond!) but that was harsh and rude and uncalled for.
Wow you really are overly sensitive. Maybe you should light up a smoke.
you openly call me an idiot and then say im sensitive? maybe you should stick one of my smokes up your *kitten* and light it.
Sure will. Can I borrow one of yours and a lighter. I don't carry them around with me. I enjoy breathing.
I breathe just fine. I run 2 miles on a daily basis.
So not even fighting you. Your comments have no affect on me. Your in a form and looks as thought people are asking advice and opinions. I speak my mind and have no need to sugar coat things. I just don't see why your losing weight in the first place if you smoke. I thought weight loss was about being healthier. It's a major contradiction to continue smoking.
So basically because we are smokers, we shouldn't want to be fit and in shape?0
