Exercise question?



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering what types of exercise everyone is doing. Which one has helped you loose weight and keep it off? How often do you exercise and for how long? Thanks a lot.

I just started exercising regularly. Elliptical is my best friend. No knee pressure and a good amount of calories burned in even half an hour. I generally burn about 360 in 35 minutes.

Good luck!

I do cardio and resistance training. I work out 5 days a week, one hour per day.

That's what I have been doing 5-6 days a week. Today it was 40 minutes and 445 calories. I also just bought Zumba this week. I just can't seen to get the scale to move.

I've been mixing things up. I walk and do Zumba - minimum of 30 minutes 4 times a week. I would love to do a 5k so its been 30 seconds of running (my version of running...not an athlete's) and 60 seconds of walking to try and build some speed and stamina. Zumba comes in to mix it up, but it can really make you sweat.

I try to cycle three times a week, dance at least twice a week (rock n roll is a great workout!), plus I walk and swim for at least 30 minutes up to four times a week. The more I do, the more I lose weight and the more I am enjoying the whole exercise thing!

Runnung. I do either bootcamp or body pump too for strength training, but running and lots of it is what keeps me thin. I do mainly interval stuff rather than plug away for hours at a steady pace.

I'm just starting to exercise again so I walk a couple of miles or do a workout video at home (I like Leslie Sansone).

Running, weights and stairs! When i say Stairs I mean 1,000 to 2,000 real stairs (not a stair master, but a building stairwell) in a workout. It is great cardio and strength training in one. I love it.

I do kickboxing 5 days a week. Classes are and hour each, last 15 minutes being abs. I do elliptical for a hour once a week too, and I take one day off. I like the elliptical, cause I can just blast my iPod and just rock out to music. I occasionally just dance around my apartment too. Usually on Wednesdays before kickboxing I do train to failure, lift heavy weights until my muscles give out. Only supposed to do this once a week, to give your muscles a chance to rest, so no to actually build muscle, just tone and get tiny muscles.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
