Im 18 ive been smoking since l was 14 and my diet and exercise routine isnt excellent, l was wondering if l was to quit smoking now and be all healthy could my levels of fitness become as great as a footballers (theyre really healthy and fit of course) or have l lost my chance if l can , what do l need to do to reach that target???
ok so ive picked my chosen sport , how much time would l have to put in to make a difference to my health and what is a healthy diet , most articles l read mention fish but l dont like it... so any alternatives!?!

No u have not missed ur chance:) People ask me the same thing at 40 & even that is quite possible to turn around, so 18 is no problem!

The best way to do it is find a sport or physical activity u like the sound of. The reason footballers r so dedicated is not because they have some amazing mental strength or they r addicted to getting fit.

Its because they absolutely love football, & playing what they love keeps them fit.

So all u have to find something u like too. Try a lot of different things.Running, martial arts, swimming, cross country walking, netball etc. A lot may seem like boring ideas or totally not you..until u actually try them. Its the only way to tell.
