I'm an ex-smoker (two months now) after 11 years of smoking about a pack a day. I'm trying to get back in shape (I've been doing weight training, pushups, and situps) but I'm having extreme difficulty with my running.
Does anyone know of a good way for me to break up all the mucus that has built up over time in my lungs? It's seriously hindering my ability to maintain any run for more than 3 minutes without stopping to catch my breath.
I'll never pass any physical agility test at this rate.
I see officers who smoke and wonder exactly how they got on the force? There are also some posts in here where people claim they continued to smoke during the academy and passed with flying colors. I truly find this hard to believe.
So please, if anyone knows of anything I can do to speed up the process of clearing my lungs I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
PS - I realize there is no overnight magic formula, but there has got to be something I can do to facilitate the process
