OK, I made this thread for lap band patients (only please)

to come and say what they did for exercise on any giving day

it doesnt matter what it is

or how long you did it for

as long you do it (as that is what matters)

thanks Catfish87

Great Job everyone! @Mikee57 nice pic!

I got in a nice long bike ride today in the beautiful St. Louis weather. My first longer ride of the year. Felt great. I think I'm doing a ride from St. Louis to Springield, IL ( 114 miles ) coming up the end of May, so I better get to logging some time in the saddle! Happy Sunday all.

Todays ride was a little over three hours.

so impressive Catfish87, probably will never get to that level, but am with you in spirit, LOL

Boxing class today. I felt adventurous and attempted a few things during the warm up and the core sections that previously I was afraid to do (bad knees and all). And I made it through the whole class with no breaks. Good day!

Great job have u been back to trx ?

Ran that treadmill drill work out again. I started. At 7.2 on treadmill for speed n ended workout at 8.0 my heart rate was at. 96% according to my heart rate monitor awesome workout today n then errands all day walking and such I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight

Congrats....and You're fast! 8.0.....Thats a 7:30 mile! Just curious, how long do you stay at 96% max HR? I haven't been able to sustain that zone for long and am envious.

Upper body weight training today with some ab work Tom cardio n weight training loving the exercise .. Although my weight hasn't changed drastically these past few months my body must be a guy at the gym commented how feet I looked and how much weight I lost in the past month. I smiled and says thank you ... Eating right working out is the key but I kept my lil secret weapon to myself ... I'm putting the work in the band us a tool I'm working I don't advertise it

came home...put on my new sneekers (pink/black and hub got me pink skulls for laces)

and off we went walking with kabo.....

Came home to 88 degrees and sunshine galore this afternoon. Did a 5km run with "hill repeats", That'll make ya sweat!

Great job everyone on your exercising!!

Nice shoes too, CG

well I know I am never going to get where most are on here-but I made my first trip back to the pool after about 3 yrs...but the good thing is that I actually did a mile in 36 minutes...which I don't remember being that hard, but I got through it, did a few other exercises that they gave me to do after my knee replacement surgery in the pool too...so I know I will be sore it will be a good sore...thanks everyone for continuing posting on here it helps me so much to stay motivated. Good nite!!!

Wrong mind frame I started barely able to do a 1/3 of a situp n could barely lift 3lb weights last year at this time. I did what I could little by little and I got stronger healthier better b thinner One tiny baby step at a time n u will too:)

thanks readysetgo611 for the pep talk!!! truly appreciated!!!

I went roller skating for the first time in over 25 years yesterday afternoon! It took a while getting the hang of it again but once I got my balance under control, I had a blast and skated over an hour with my two teenage sons!

welcome back @@oreo4972

I remember you being on here last year. Glad to see you're back! Congrats on the skating!

mikes

when i was banded, i could not walk from my car to a stores door to shop

i could hardly wipe my ass.....in fact, i was becoming near immobile.....so i just started walking (more like waddle) as much as i could.....and that is all i could do......walk......and those steps, day after day, added up......i cannot do nearly as much as some who post their exercises.....not even in my prime.....but i am doing what i can do and what works for me...

as long as you do it, who cares

what it is

or how long you do it

we all had to start the same way.......

at the beginning

there is never an end...its on going......proud of you GF
