Today I biked ..very far I will also get my butt on the mill to tread. What are you all doing today?

I am 3 days post op and not up for it yet, but I was wondering when ya'll started exercising? I belong to a club so I can start slow and walk the track, but I was wondering about biking and maybe some light weight lifting? I'm ready to go!!!

Just wondering if ya'll could let me know when you started and what you did - thanks!

Marie,

My doctor told me to wait 6 weeks to do weights, I am not sure if they all say the same thing or not. Just check with your doctor. Good luck!

I read an article today that said if you walk your dog 20 min a day 5 days a week you can lose an extra 14 pounds.

I think I need to get a dog!:noidea: Just kidding.

When I am up to it. I think I am going to ride a bicycle for 20 min everyday after work, when its not soo hot.

On http://www.calorie-count.com/ I found these fun calorie burning tidbits!
