Recommended Posts

I have been doing the elliptical in the gym at my apartment but tonight my boyfriend and I signed up at a gym. I hope we stick to it this time...I joined mostly for the classes. What classes do you all take and what do you like/dislike about them!? :)

I like the spinning classes. They totally exhaust me and leave me in a soggy puddle. Plus I enjoy riding my bike so it helps there on days I can't get out. I'd like to try yoga but the class is at the same time as spinning and it looks like I"d fall asleep since the yoga room is dark. :lol: On alternate days, I do strength training exercises that the physical trainer set up for me. They aren't exactly my favorite but I realize that it's part of my overall health so I do it. Plus it gives me an hour of not worrying about my son who is enjoying HIS time at the gym's child care center.

Get bicycle shorts. I have a skort so no one has to see my jelly belly but your butt will thank you. Make sure to take plenty of Water and talk to the instructor. They can help out with setting up your machine and give helpful hints.

I am joining Curves again in the morning and a 24 hour gym. I am so excited! I've been working out at a rehab gym but it really doesn't fit my schedule so I am ready to go now! I haven't lost any real weight in a while so I hope this gives me a boost! I have been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds for over a month now!

Spin classes are the best bang for your buck cardio and easy on the knees too! Add a decent heart rate monitor and you have a recipe for serious progress!!!

I have been doing spinning and aerobics classes. Some ofthe classes they have at my local gym are rough and are a great workout. Iwould also check with your insurance to see if they have a reimbursementclause. My insurance will reimburse me up to 40% of my monthly membership feeup to $400 a year. It never hurts to save some money!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
