When I stopped smoking I gained a lot of weight and my
doctor told me to follow a diet and to start sport or a hobby.
So, I reduced sweets and joined a gym where I could exercise every
morning. Unfortunately, I hurt my back on the rowing machine, so I stopped
going.when I recoveredfrom my backache, I took up jogging. At
first, it was great, but then I felt dizzy and I got a pain in my leg. Stupidly,
I continued running and I twisted my ankle.
