Kick the habit


Trying to quit smoking? Adding a few strength and cardio workouts to your weekly routine could help.

A recent Austrian study found that, after three months, 80 % of smokers who did a strength and cardio workout three times a week while using nicotine-replacement therapy (like a patch or gum) had given up smoking, compared to just 52% who used the replacement alone.
