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.

Well today I walked twice at work each was 23 minutes long so a total of 46 min.

Hey Tina Bree,

How is your exercise Quest going? Keep at it! Even if it is 10 minutes a day. Be like Nike... Just Do It!!

I run 4 miles a day, every day... I love to run sometimes I switch up and do my eliptical. I work out a minimum of 1 hour a day, I keep my heart rate up and thank my blessings that I can do all this at 54 !!!!

That's awesome... I'm 4 days post surgery. All I can tolerate right now is walking up and down my hallway for 10 minutes every 3-4 hours.

That is awesome! I hope that I can build up to that after surgery. For now, walking and stair climbing are my daily dose. Gotta get more exercise in!

I did 40 minutes of elliptical. Good to be accountable.

i am three weeks post op and walked several miles yesterday. Today I am paying for it. My abdomen is very sore. But I can tell that the walking helped. Walking is the only thing I can do. I still am too sore to lift or move my arms a lot. I am eager to use the elliptical machines at the gym. These are my favorite exercise machines because they put less stress on the joints.

I do have to walk very slowly. When I first start walking my abdomen is very sore. But when I keep walking, that soreness seems to go away. I still have my drain in (and I am really tired of that drain but I had excessive bleeding) and I find that the hole in my abdomen that it goes through is very sore.

I have not being going to the gym like I should gotta do better

It's just so cold in Cali right now

30 min on my bike..

Didn't go to the gym yesterday or today, feeling run down with a cold. Plan to get back in there tomorrow and this post will help hold me to it.

Gym today, 40 minutes on the elliptical. This little thread's gonna keep me honest!

I have to confess I have not done a thing today! It's dark out and raining. I know that's an excuse! I need to learn to just make the time. I am one of those that does not like to exercise. I will work on that.

I've been slack, too. Okay folks, we need to pick it up a notch! Lets all try to do 30 minutes of something today. Report in tomorrow. I may not report as I am going in for surgery today and may not be able to post. Lets get motivated to move! :0)

I went to the gym today for the 1st time post op. did 30 minutes on the treadmill. It's getting too cold outside for me to walk outdoors.

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