does anyone have a really good work out routine?



Recommended Posts

I have already hit my 2-3 lb a week point, granted I'm only restricted to 3 ccs, but I really want to get down before prom, which is May 2nd. Does anyone have a work out routine that works really well?

As of right now i go to the gym about 5 days a week, and I do a variety of things with the weight machines, and then I get on the treadmill for half an hour.

in my gym we divide two days for weightlifting, two days kickboxing and one day for dancing - it's a class called zumba........so you don't get bored and you workout without even noticing. i really recommend it!!! goodluck:thumbup:

Try Interval Training, it can really boost your calorie burn during your workouts for the max benefit. Sometimes your body gets too used to a workout and you need to mix it up to get more out of it. Check out this article or do a search on "interval training" on the net for more information:

I thought I was really fit till I started boot camp, lol.

After 3 years of regular running and sometime circuit training, I really WAS pretty fit. But that added intensity of being trained by a trainer and pushed and doing really hard bodyweight stuff has surpassed any results I've EVER seen from pushing machines around in a gym and walking on a treadmill.

So yeah, basically what's mentioned above - interval training with bursts of intensity and hard bodyweight strength training, balanced out by slower sustained cardio on other days.

I now run three or so times a week and do two bootcamp sessions and I'm in the kind of shape I could never dream of, and I can do things I could never dream of! My abs are washboard flat, my ass is the best it can be (sigh), and my arms and shoulders and back are nicely toned with visible muscle.

I also find I can eat whatever I want these days and never gain a gram.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
