NEVER<> EVer<> Smoke

OKay well, obviously i was a complete piece of shit and started smoking. I went to play basketball today and i almost died, i truly did. So i want to start my self back in the gym. IM an active member so no need to preech strict diet, and all that, trust me i know. It is strict, that is why i have been able to maintain my abs while i havent been exercising.

Body fat is probably about 9-11% i have about a 4 pack. I am looking to do AM cardio . Now if my research is correct, it is better to Briskly walk then to run. This will keep me at 70% of mhr and i will be able to loose the body fat on me, from the cardio and bein on an empty stomach... SO thats my first question, am i right about the walking? Also ill be lifting in the afternoon, or some more cardio depending on how i feel... Is this the best route of attack? To loose some weight, and basically make it so i dont die next time i move more then 3 feet.

i dont think brisk walking will dramatically increase your endurance

i dont remember saying dramatically anywhere in there? hmmm... I wasnt looking to dramatically increase my endurance i was looking to get back into shape slowly. In the afternoon i said id be lifting, or cardio *bball probably if its cardio*...sooo like i said, is this the right way to go?

It's all about conditioning.If your goals are to play a sport like basketball,then HIIT cardio is the way to go.Slowly build up your intensity and before you know it,you'll be able to play a full game.

aight can i get an opinion from someone with a lil more experience... thanks for the advice buddy... i can play a full game of basketball... i play for a team... i was being a little over dramatic... i can play a game, its just extremly hard for me and im not used to it because ive been an athlete all my life

edit

Thanks bro, i truly appreciate the advice
