What exercise programs or challenges are you doing?



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a exercise program I can do from home using DVDs and includes both aerobic and toning/light weight lifting. I am at goal at 128 lbs but never really got in

Shape. I think a challenge would help motivate me! My limitations include bad knees but can do low impact aerobics. Most programs seem to have a low impact version these days. I am so tired of walking.... So no walking DVDs lol! What is your favorite and what are the hot challenges these days?

I joined a gym, I swim laps 3 times a week, then I bicycle ride (stationary) and use the varied road program (up hill, down hill) and I do 5 miles in 30 minutes. I also occasionally do Water arobics but the program at my gym isn't good. It's mostly old ladies (like me) and they just stand around and chat so if you really want the work out you have to weave yourself in and out of them because they won't move. I also use the steam room afterwards to help loosen the muscles. At home well, we have a farm so there is always something to do but I like using my WII and just do some dancing and/or some of the sports games that aren't too hard. I like to mix things up, it's better for your muscles and you also don't get as bored with the workout.

I just started using 8Fit. It's an app - I just use the free version but I find the workouts to be quick and you don't need anything fancy to do them.

I have a gym membership but I actually am really enjoying the workouts on this app.

I'm only 4 weeks out so this seems like a great way to get started

Collagevideo (online) has a great selection and you can watch clips. Sometimes I select what I want and then shop around for the best price on other sites. I still love the Jane Fonda tapes - they are dance moves, easy to follow and most are low impact. I like her low impact workout and favorite fat burners. I also like Kathy Smith's functionally fit video.

      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!!
