What would be a good workout routine?

[cynthiakred 8]

I had my gastric bypass on 7/15/13 and I shortly had to have my gallbladder removed on 8/3/13. my doctor has cleared me to exercise and even swim. I want to begin a routine that is appropriate for me, since I just got out of surgery but will also challenge me. Please if there are any suggestions it would mean a lot to me. Thank you

The first few months after surgery I went swimming for a couple hours 4-5 times a week. Now, I have gotten a trainer at my local fitness center and it's been really helpful.

I still work out 4-5 times a week, although there were a few weeks where I fell off that bandwagon, but I'm back on now. I do cardio three times a week, and strength training three times a week, I double up on Wednesdays.

Find a exercise you like then it won't feel like exercise. I love to run so I run 5 miles daily... I actually look forward to my runs and exercise is a great stress reliever. What ever you choose, start out slow and work your way up, set obtainable goals. I also wear a heart rate monitor to make sure I'm working out in the fat burning mode. This has helped me a lot to make sure I am exerting enough energy and pushing as hard as I can for my age and fitness level.

If you have never exercised before I would hire a trainer at first so you get a good grasp of what you should be doing and how to do it properly. Good luck !!

I Love Collage video, you can watch part of the workout and the reviews really help with the choice.
