Time crunch workouts?



Recommended Posts

any ideas?

Due to a 1 hour and 20 minute commute each way, I am gone for 12 hours a day and have little to know time for exercise.

Anyone have any ideas for exercise in a time crunch?

Dear Sweetz:

I am a year post post band, and approaching 140 pounds lost. I would suggest that you consider access to a gym on your way home or right after work before you head home. That way your drive home is a recovery time. During that time you can alternate core/weights and then an ellyptical/treadmill on the other. I found that I was so tired when I got hoime it was hard, so I tried to hit a gym or walk/run right after work, and then head home.

If the gym is not an alternative, a stationary bike at home is great because you can read or watch tv and catch up on the day.

Last if non of those work, go to your local bookstore and purchase a book on core training workouts that you can do at home after work. There are numerous workout tapes also that are 30 minutes. But a 30 minute core workout really makes a difference.

Good luck,

Rob

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
