How long to get quite fit?

[Anonymous]

Me and my friend did track events for 6 years and to make a long story short we quit. But after 3 years we want to start again, so we went out a 'run' yesterday and ended up walking/running for a combined time of 3 hours!
We want to get nice feminine toned tummys, we both are slim already and don't have a lot of fat, BMI is about 19/20 for me so I'm guessing she is the same, we go do this every second day? Is this good?)

I'm on and off with fitness, but my BMI is 8% fat, 90% muscle and I smoke very heavily (also drink a lot of coffee and sometimes I overdo the whiskey).

Here's how to get started, 1 week of nothing = sedentary, it's enough to undo 1 month of exercise. With that in mind, remember that each run you do, you don't walk, you keep running and you run your maximum speed at an even speed. You increase the speed and distance when your body allows it. Write down the time and distance for each run and realize the energy level patterns. Food and sleep are most crucial, coca-cola's a big nono, and so are other carbonated drinks including sugary foods.

Also, I managed to run 13 miles in 100 minutes, it took me 1 month to get back into shape for this stuff. You should just keep consistent. By the way, I noticed that I was able to do twice the pull ups after 1 month of trying, the key is to remain consistent, but to push when you can push.

Well, when I quit smoking permanently, I should hope it's not my limit. I enjoy seeing younger people taking care into their health. That is what is love. Love isn't an emotion, it's action pertaining to wellness. GOOD FOR YOU!
