I thought I would start a thread that might help keep us accountable for exercising. Post on here what you did today for exercise. Come back daily and use this thread as an exercise log.

I started my incline at 4% and increase by 1% each week....it takes me about 60 minutes to do the 5 miles walking and running, weights it just depends on what I'm doing for my upper body I use 5 to 20 pounds and legs I go up to 50 to 80 pounds, 12 to 15 reps and I go into the sauna 15 to 30 minutes just depends on how I feel. You have to set up a program that you're comfortable with. When toning use light weights and do a lot of reps per set and get at least 30 minutes of cardio. You have to listen to your body and push yourself...set goals each week.

Thanks for the information.... started a routine tonight at the gym that mixes it up on the treadmill with speed/incline. it was a workout!! LOVED IT!

I only do strength training/weights every other day.... that what the coach at the YMCA suggested. I hit the steam room for 15 min, sauna for 15 and the hot tub for pure relaxation for 15 min!

I did exercise this evening. Did 2 miles walking DVD with Leslie Sansome. Then 10 min stretching. That's one night down. : )

I love her videos and they are just perfect for me in the state of Texas ice the summer months are so hot here.

I fret all about my walk off the pounds dvds! Thanks for the reminder' date=' I'm gonna pull them out!!!![/quote']

I use the walking videos all of the time unless I'm on workout restrictions like I am right now having to keep both feet on the hound.

16 laps in the pool, wanted to do more, but for some reason I get sea sick if I do too much. I never had this problem before surgery.

I did 40 laps today and had no problem with nausea!

Zumba pump and Zumba

3 mile run concentrated on legs while lifting weights and sauna

3weeks post op, down 30 pounds, & not cleared for any sort of weight or resistance training. But, yesterday did 45 minutes of water aerobics & today, an hour of chair yoga. I have MS and haven't been able to exercise like this in a long time. 30 pounds makes a difference. Tomorrow back to water aerobics.

congratulations well I start working out 10 days after surgery but my weight stop so they told me not to do any more weight lifting but only cardio so I can drop the weight because muscles weigh more than fat.
