Hey everyone, just dropping by to talk about how I keep fit and still enjoy vaping. It’s not as tough as some might think, and here’s how I do it:
First things first, I go for nicotine-free options only. There was this one time I tried a juice with nicotine mid-training season, and man, it threw me off. My runs were slower, recovery took longer — it just didn’t vibe with my body. So, cutting out nicotine was a no-brainer for me; it keeps my energy levels more consistent, which is huge when you’re trying to hit new PRs at the gym.
Timing-wise, I’ve got a little tradition. Last Saturday, after a killer leg day, I waited until I finished my post-workout meal and stretches. Then, while I was relaxing on the couch feeling that good workout high, I enjoyed my vape. It’s like a mini celebration for getting through another tough session.
Discipline is huge for me too. I treat my vaping sessions almost like cheat days. For example, I’ll choose a couple of evenings a week as my vape nights, usually after I’ve hit all my workouts and macros for the day. That way, it feels earned, and it’s something I can look forward to.
Can’t forget about hydration, which is important whether you’re vaping or not. Last Wednesday, I forgot my water bottle at home, and by the time I realized, I was already halfway to the office. I remember feeling parched all day after a quick vape break, and it just reinforced how important water is, especially on vape days.
Nutrition can’t be underestimated either. Just yesterday, I had a smoothie bowl packed with fruits, nuts, and protein after my morning jog. Real food like this fuels my body far better than any processed stuff could, especially when I’m fitting vaping into my lifestyle.
So yeah, vaping is part of my wind-down process, but it doesn’t define me. Whether I’m hitting a heavy bag or coding away for work, I make sure vaping is just a chill slice of my daily pie, not the whole dessert.
For those wondering if they have to give up vaping to stay on top of their fitness game, I’m proof that it’s all about how you manage it. Make the habit work for you — not against your health goals. Keep it reasonable, keep it nicotine-free, and always put your fitness first.
