What's your favorite mode of movement (exercise)?



Recommended Posts

About 3 weeks ago, I really started walking more and a lot farther. I kinda like walking for the most part. There are some days I would rather just run and climb in my bed after my night shift but it seems to be working. I haven't seen a lot of movement on the scale but my clothes are fitting better and I feel a little fitter. Just wondering what you guys are doing to get moving.

Best Wishes

Biking. Road bike or mountain bike. Either is fine. I put on about 75 miles a week.

I started a run/walk program that I found online. There are lots to choose from. I chose one from Runners World magazine and it's very do-able. I have NEVER been fond of running, but I get such a great sense of satisfaction now that I can actually complete the "assigned run" each day. Maybe that would spice things up for you? I also write all my workouts down in my day planner. I treat them like an appointment and really try to keep on schedule.

I like the elliptical and the ARC trainer. ...... Great calorie burn, and easy on the joints. I've worked up from 10 minutes a day to an hour and ten minutes a day!

I LOVE to run! I never dreamed I'd ever be a runner but it really is my favorite thing to do now!

I walk through the hills where I live; about 30-45 minutes, 4-5 days a week. It's working quite well, and I notice a big difference when I start slacking off. Thanks to my border collie, slacking off is rarely an option :P

I joined the Y just before I was banded, and started walking 1-2 a week. Walking turned into gentle running 2-3 x a week. Now ive had Plantar Facitis ( heel injury) since spring, so no walking /running allowed till January. I cant wait until I can start again, I sure miss running !

Walking is the only thing I do and I need to do way more of it. I can be very lazy. I have a walking partner once a week and we walk about five miles in one evening.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
