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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
