Class 1 medical fitness query

Hi all,

I've been reading through the other posts on the medical, and can't find anything to answer my question.

Booked my class 1 initial for a couple of weeks time, and I'm getting worried about it already, I think I'm probably just over reacting.

Passed the class 2 initial ok last year, but they don't do a lung capacity test for that. What sort of level of fitness do you need to pass the lung capacity test? Should I be doing any physical training over the next couple of weeks, or will it not affect the result?

Don't have any health problems that I know of, got a healthy BMI, but it doesn't take much to get my out of breath (effect of laziness and owning a car!!!). Trying to give up the smoking too, been cleen now for about two weeks.

If I can keep of the fags, then I guess that should help my cause.

Anybody in the know got any advice or tips for me?

Thanks in advance.
