When I quit smoking, I joined the gym. I spent about 2 hours a day there, usually 5 days a week, after school. It really helped me.
Unfortunately, I hurt my knee, and went to PT for a few months;
Then, hernia surgery;
Then, back surgery.
Then pnemonia and a lung infection.
It's been a very tough year for me, physically!
But, I quit smoking! LOL! The silver lining in that big dark cloud.

Now, I'm trying to start back up. Exercise helps me maintain stress levels at a managable level, besides the cardiovasular benefits it gives. I have a treadmill now at home. I'm trying to get into the habit of doing it daily for 30 minutes. I started the other day, and did @ 20 minutes; not too shabby for a start!

What exercises do you do for your recovery?
Do you find it helpful?
In what manner is it helpful? How could it be better?
Let's share and help each other maintain our physical health as we support each other in our recovery.

Shalom!
