Cardio/strength training

Getting a feeling of what kind of exercise you are doing post WLS.

I do 15-20 minutes cardio to get HR in fat burning mode. Then go to weight resistance machines for arms, legs, abs. Then I do functional movements like squats, planks and step ups. So I'm focusing on toning and building muscle in the gym and letting my calorie reduction be my weight loss.

What are your exercise routines? (

To keep moving as much as possible. I do aquafit 5 - 6 days a week. The instructors all focus on different areas and have different styles. Mon - Is a very vigorous aerobics style class. Lots of activities designed to get the heart rate up, with 30 second rest periods in between. Tues/Thurs is more strength training using light Water weight >15lbs. Wed/Fri is more high intensity aerobics and Saturday would best be described as aerobics/zomba. Sunday is my day off. I also add in bike riding 1 -2 times a week and kettleball at home on Tues/Thurs.

I have arthritis in both knees so I can't do anything high impact.

An average of about 40 min of cardio 7 days a week (treadmill,elliptical, hiking). I have a desk job. So, I make sure I get the cardio in. Weight machines for about 40 mins 3 or 4 days a week. Including the 6 months prior to surgery, I have lost 110 lbs as of this morning. Life is great!
