What is everyone's exercise routine? New and long timers

Hey everyone! I was just wondering what everyone's exercise routine is these days. Do you mix cardio and weight/strength training? How many days a week are you doing it? For long timers, have you seen less loose skin depending on the exercising you're doing?

I was sleeved on Dec 21st and I got my gym membership on Dec 31st. I haven't been cleared for weights yet, so I'm strictly doing cardio. I'm up to an hour a day, 4-6 times a week.

I went ahead and put a goal in place for the spring (albeit a lofty one!!) and I'm participating in a half marathon (Rock and Roll Marathon of Dallas). I might not be able to finish it, but I'm going to try anyway!

Anyone else set exercise goals for this quarter?? This seems to be the key for my success in losing the weight and looking good while doing it. So I would love to hear what everyone else does.

sex is a great way to keep in shape and a great mood stablizer..it's so good for the body/soul/and mind. Now that we are all thinner and more attractive, it's such a great reward for our efforts..nothing compares to it, nothing.

:001_smile: You are SO RIGHT!!! So I guess I've got TWO things I'm doing for exercise, not just the Cher video!!!!!

Does anyone have any ideas when you are big and just starting to lose how to keep your skin from being flappy?

I mix it up so I don't get board and my body can't figure out what's coming next. I do yoga, kickboxing, free weights, Jillian Michaels videos, running, a hip hop dance video and yes, sex is definately the most fun!

Hi All, I am still pre surgery hopefully I will be getting sleeved next month. I go for power walks 4-5 days a week for an hour and a half. I have been doing this for years it is the only exercise that I have ever been able to stick with. I do worry if this won't be considered enough exercise after I am sleeved.
