I only do classes. Bootcamp, power barbell, interval and spinning. I try to mix it up and get spinning 2x a week for a great cardio workout. My gym has 2 pools, but those classes are always packed. good luck to you.

Spin is a GREAT cardio class. You can really go in and start at your own pace, let the instructor know that it is your first time and you will find yourself adding more as you go. One of those great activities that has the option of buying shoes for, anything that you can buy new shoes for must be great!!!! At my gym, any class instructor will tell you to work at your own pace, but push yourself, there are alternatives for most exercises. (ie bad knees or shoulders)

I do a lot of free weights and core exercises with my trainer. I also try to do 1 class a week whether it be yoga, trx, strength etc. and then on Sundays I spend most of my time on the treadmill and elliptical.

I am trying to get up the courage to do the spin class.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
