What is your exercise routine?



Recommended Posts

I am trying to see if I am on the right track as far as exercise is concerned. I walk/jog 3 miles a day six days a week. outdoors which takes me an hour with hills and things. I am losing weekly with walking the three miles, probably 3lbs a week. I am now under 298 lbs hoping to keep losing consistently. I found some kettle bell exercises and dumb bell moves for strength training how often should I incorporate the Strength training?

Really want to know what you guys are doing to lose weight and maintain the weight loss.

I break my exercise up. I am exercising more than an hour a day in 30-45 minute blocks, morning and evening. This is just the cardio part, and that is 6-7 days a week

I am trying to build muscle so I can burn more calories. I lift heavy with low reps, 3 days a week. I haven't got to the point of being able to say if it is working or not yet, too new, and it takes a while to build muscle.

I am still having difficulty walking any distance so I do most of my exercise in the pool. 1-2 hours deep-water Water aerobics/calisthenics/weights most days (weather permitting).

The running coaches at the local pro running shop told me to jog every other day, not every day, especially since I have some arthritis in my knee and hip. Here's my exercise routine from the past week, it's pretty standard:

Today: 48 minutes jogging

Yesterday: 40 minutes circuit training (mixed weights/shadow boxing/aerobics - Kelly Coffey-Meyer Circuit Burn dvd)

Wednesday: one hour jogging

Tuesday: 25 minutes low impact HIIT (Cathe Friedrich Ripped with HIIT dvd)

Monday: 50 minutes jogging

Sunday: 20 minutes HIIT (Cathe Friedrich All Out Low Impact HIIT dvd) + 40 minutes weights (Leslie Sansone 30 Day Firm dvd)

Saturday: one hour jogging

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
