Hey peeps!

I usually go try to go to the gym 3 times a week for at least 45 to 55 minutes. This week I went 4 times and I intend on going again today. I usually do the treadmill or eliptical for at least 40 minutes and I sometimes work on my arms, I haven't been cleared for abs or anything of that nature so I try to take it easy. My doctor told me I could do light weights right now, but I really want to focus on my upper body now, does anyone have any suggestions????

I am almost 5 months out and I go Tues-Friday. I do cardio for about 20-25 minutes and then I work on my legs or arms. On Mondays I walk/jog. On the weekends, I try to make it to the track for walking/jogging but I do not always get to go.

Try the site www.exrx.net

Gives you exercises of all body parts and other routines. I swear by it and give my patients this website address. I like to do arms, chest and back on same day to get a nice complete upper body workout and to get that extra stabilization, use free weights.

Oh, and try the row machine, love love love

Ok so I could do reps on all the machines after my cardio??? I hate that row machine, it is my worse enemy lol. But I am gonna try it today! Thanks

I go 4 or 5 times a week, I swim for 90 minutes M-W-F and walk, stationary bike and some resistance training Tu-Th. We've got an excellent senior wellness center in my town and it's only $20 a year for as much as you want, full indoor track, dozen weight training machines, lap pool and a therapy pool. It's been just what I need.

That sounds awesome. I have gym membership at my university for free, well not for free cause I pay tuition lol but I am in walking distance from it so I usually get a walk in before I hit the gym. Working out is so awesome.

Pre-op I went 3 times a week on average. I haven't been back to the gym yet as I'm only just over 2 weeks out but I'm really jonesing to get back in there. I'm going to try the treadmill this weekend
