Wow, man. Quitting smoking must be tough. Anyone here used to smoke and have quit permanently? If so, how did you do it?

Yeah, 20 minutes isn't difficult at all. I estimate I burn about 200 calories per workout when I do cardio and since I workout in the morning I assume my metabolism is raised a bit too.
Me! Quit cold turkey (this was 15+ years ago before all the doodads they have now...). But I'm stubborn and when I put my mind to something, I do ti. I got the kid to stop smoking and I'll be glad to do the same for anyone else. Please bring your own toilet bowl. :P

I've been trying to more exercise and I think my problem is that I'm aiming for an hour+ every few days which is hard to fit into a schedule. The 20 minutes EVERY day seems a lot more reasonable, but I have trouble getting my heartrate up (3.5 miles an hour on the treadmill) even at an hour. I wonder if 20 minutes will get my heartrate up enough. But I'm going to try it!

Thanks and MANY congrats!!!!
