Looking for suggestions for exercise

At the end of this month I will be able to start exercising. I am lookinf for some ideas. I do enjoy a gym but do not want to sign any contracts. I also may consider Zumba or something like it. I need to get out of the house, so please make suggestions that allow for that. I would like hearing what others have found interesting and have had results with. My goal is to be able to start canoeing or kayaking this summer. I was banded in Dec 2012 and have lost about 22 lbs since from my pre-op starting weight of 292lbs

Hi,

I just joined a gym with no commitments. You can quit whenever and it's just $10. per month. I joined almost a month ago. I ride the recumbent bike and then do some arm and leg machines. I was riding 5 or so minutes and today did 23 with hills on level 5. I still have a big muffin top. I have not tried any classes yet. I am 62 and they have a "senior" class 3 times a week and I guess I am chicken. I don't use a tread mill because of bad knees. Maybe you area has a gym that is cheap. Planet Fitness is $10. per month.

Good luck!!!!

What if a Fitbit? Does it count your steps?

A Fitbit is a very small devise which I wear on my bra and you hook it up with your computer and you record your food and exercises. It keeps track of your walking, stairs (only going up) and the calories you have burned. I record with my iPhone also. I love it, but not cheap. They sell for $100. but at the AT&T store near me they were $25. off. You can go to their web site and look at it since they have different models and prices rangers.

Good luck. Going to the gym soon.
