What exercise has everyone done



Recommended Posts

My Dr told me I needed to do 10,000 steps or exercise for a hour a day. I have problems with this and need help coming up with more ideas. I Love to walk but due to my back I can not walk for long periods of time.

I currently walk and ride my bike and when the weather was warmer i swam ( i love swimming). You could try swimming, all three exercises are low impact which is what i need as i have osteoarthritis in both my knees.

I have a love/hate relationship with the elliptical machine! I love that it works me so hard and that I post-surgery PR everytime I get on it! But, I hate getting on it 3x a week! I also do a lot of weight training.

For your back tri swimming or Water aerobics. I had a have a back injury and could not walk for very long before I was is so much pain I could not go anymore. My last straw was at Disneyland I was in a wheelchair wile my 70 y/o mother was walking around with no problem. I had the surgery and have lost 140lbs from my HW and now run on the elliptical for 2 1/2 miles at a 7 min pace and my back barely hurts anymore! Good luck to you!

Mine was my left side. It wold feel numb but also feel like it was burning and had lightning going through it. It hurt so bad! I used to take morphine 10mg 2x a day percocet 2-3x a day and flexoril 2x a day for pain. Was on that for 3 plus years. I stopped all meds at about 4 months post surgery, and I now only occasionally need to take a couple of advil for the discomfort. It is night and day different now with the weight loss! You hopefully will notice the same changes, good luck!

      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.
