Treadmill victory



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to say that I jogged on my treadmill today for the first time! I am a 63 yo woman and don't think I have ever done that bf. I tell you I felt so good doing it and will continue this so I can enter a race with my daughter this summer for sure! I was floating..and sweating but didn't kill me!:wink0:

Congratulations what an accomplishment. I wish I had that stamina. I have all to do to get myself to walk on the treadmill and then I increase it to a rapid pace but that's it. Best wishes I hope you make it to do that run with your daughter.

Thank you all.

Another question. I hate to say it but my butt is nonexistent, flat as a board and was wondering if I keep jogging will it help the ole butt? I can feel some tightness in the glutes now, but is there hope?

Great job! I've heard running is a great way to tone up, so maybe it would help with the butt. Mine's also flat and it jiggles terribly...if the jogging does it for you, let me know because I think I would get past being terrified of running and try it if it would help with this Jello butt.

Jiggle butt! So funny Dee dee and I know you work out and dance so I must be looking at some serious work on mine!! I will keep on and let you know. My daughter runs and she complains also about her butt jiggling but she doesn't do any other exercise and sporadic at that. Buns of steel is my hope but hamburger buns is more like it for me.

Itstime, congrats on the endorphine rush working out. That is great.

FYI, from a mans view, nothing wrong with hamburger buns...

I hear running definitely tones up, but all the runners that I know personally suffer from tiny hiney.

Now, I love, love, love squats, lunges, and these funky tippy toe exercises I do to help my toosh. I have noticed that I'm getting a little curve to the bottom of my butt, and jeans actually look good on me.

I wouldn't mind the tiny hiney (cute phrase) so much as long as it was lifted and not a big bowl of Jello. You're right though, lunges and squats probably need to become my best friend.

Congrats! That's awesome...I cannot even try to jog on the treadmill for fear of falling, so I stick with the sidewalk. :)

The only reason I got on the treadmill at home was a nongym day and the weather here is COLD and SNOWEY. Can't wait for spring. Ash you are doing great down 97lb! Looking for spring soon to be outside again to exercise.:crying:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
