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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
