cardio/respitory - Friday, June 13, 2008 10:32 PM

I'm really new to this site... really im new to any body building forum.

i've been working out for a year or so and seen some imprvements, not as fast as i'd hoped with work and high school and all but improvements. the biggest problem i have is my cardio and respitory systems. i live with my mom and dad whom both smoke around the house, that being said i was also absent from extraciricular activities for a year so not alot of activity. just wondering if anyone had any advice or workout's to work cardio and respitory well.

thanks,
scott

Alot of simple things will help. I used to smoke cigarettes though, and two years later i'm just now feeling like my respiratory system is getting back to normal.

Basketball, football, biking, soccer - it doesn't matter. If you have fun you're more likely to keep it up. 5'6" 125/ Bench: 115 / Front squat: 90 / Deadlift: 205 / Pullups: 10

Fun aspect is crucial and will push you beyond what you thought possible. I used to play basketball for hours and hours on end because it was fun, so I pushed through the lack of wind and developed my 2nd wind this way. You have to find your niche yourself, I can run on a treadmill, but others may not be able to, so experiment and develop a passion for something you like.

It is important to balance good cardio with weightlifting for total health and fitness, so don't neglect one or the other.
