What is your exercise routine?



Recommended Posts

I am trying to see if I am on the right track as far as exercise is concerned. I walk/jog 3 miles a day six days a week. outdoors which takes me an hour with hills and things. I am losing weekly with walking the three miles, probably 3lbs a week. I am now under 298 lbs hoping to keep losing consistently. I found some kettle bell exercises and dumb bell moves for strength training how often should I incorporate the Strength training?

Really want to know what you guys are doing to lose weight and maintain the weight loss.

I break my exercise up. I am exercising more than an hour a day in 30-45 minute blocks, morning and evening. This is just the cardio part, and that is 6-7 days a week

I am trying to build muscle so I can burn more calories. I lift heavy with low reps, 3 days a week. I haven't got to the point of being able to say if it is working or not yet, too new, and it takes a while to build muscle.

I am still having difficulty walking any distance so I do most of my exercise in the pool. 1-2 hours deep-water Water aerobics/calisthenics/weights most days (weather permitting).

The running coaches at the local pro running shop told me to jog every other day, not every day, especially since I have some arthritis in my knee and hip. Here's my exercise routine from the past week, it's pretty standard:

Today: 48 minutes jogging

Yesterday: 40 minutes circuit training (mixed weights/shadow boxing/aerobics - Kelly Coffey-Meyer Circuit Burn dvd)

Wednesday: one hour jogging

Tuesday: 25 minutes low impact HIIT (Cathe Friedrich Ripped with HIIT dvd)

Monday: 50 minutes jogging

Sunday: 20 minutes HIIT (Cathe Friedrich All Out Low Impact HIIT dvd) + 40 minutes weights (Leslie Sansone 30 Day Firm dvd)

Saturday: one hour jogging

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
