Quit smoking and start getting in shape fast!

Many smokers struggle with how to quit smoking. Plenty of options are available to help. Many people find success in the most basic measures.

Get rid of all your cigarettes. Throw them out. Just do it. When you get that urge - and you will - just take a moment to gather your thoughts and remind yourself of the certain health benefits you will enjoy by quitting smoking! This is, after all, very much a battle of your willpower. You make the choice. You decide! And you get to reap the benefits.

Enjoy a big drink of ice cold water. Have a piece of fruit. Keep some celery or baby carrots on hand and snack on something healthy. Dried fruits like raisins or prunes, grapes, baked, low-salt crackers, and whole wheat bread are also tasty and healthy snacks.

Start exercising for 30 minutes a day. Try a healthy activity like brisk walking, jogging, bicycling, or swimming. Try a new sport - like tennis or golf. If you can't get in 30 minutes all at once, aim for shorter periods of activity - at least 10 minutes - that add up to a half hour per day. If you have not exercised in a while, start with 5 or 10 minutes and gradually increase your times.

There are countless alternatives. In the end - the choice is yours. Make that choice. Start getting in shape fast and make it easier on yourself. Quit smoking, get out and exercise each day and watch your life get better!
