How much exercise do you do weekly?

  • Popular Post

I'm about 9 weeks out and I've began to exercise three times a week for about 30 to 35 mins. I was just wondering what everyone else is doing.

I am 3 weeks out I have lost 10kg so far I have tried just walking but I am fighting a chest infection. As soon as I am well enough. I intend to get in the habit of walking everyday for 30minutes. It's a start.. Once I am at 6-9 months I would like to do weights and yoga. Now I am retired I have much more time on my hands.. Looking forward to getting better and this chest infection gone!

I am 26 months out and do exactly 0 minutes of excercise 0 days/week.

Unless you count being on my feet, squatting, bending, lifting 40-60 pounds at work 10-12 hours/day, feeding and watering horses, stacking 80 pound bales of hay, shoveling snow, mowing the lawn, hiking with my dog, horseback riding, and kayaking.

But these are all the exact same things I did before surgery, so it's not like it's any kind of structured excercise program or even a WLS related lifestyle change......just something I've always done.

I'm now 12 weeks out and my loss has slowed. Maybe I'm not exercising enough?

Great job on getting started! I love running, so I run 3-4 times a week & then I do a barre class 2 nights/week. I really love that for strength training without traditional weights, etc. It's fun!

I'm 11 weeks out, I go to the gym for at least an hour 5-6 days a week. I work with a trainer two days a week, the rest is me doing the treadmill/elliptical and weight lifting. I've added the rowing machine in recently, so far so good.

The trainer is kicking my butt which is really helping keeping me motivated and pushing past what I'm just comfortable with and trying new things

I never thought I would become a gym addict, but I have! I work out 5 days/week and do 30 mins weights/30 minutes cardio 4/5 days. The remaining day I do straight cardio for 45-60 minutes--either a class or running on the treadmill. My family was in town last week and the gym was closed today for Easter so I only worked out 3 days last week and I am anxious to get back to it tomorrow!

So true rnsamantha, you have built a habit. Same with me I never used to work out but now that I've started I can't stop. Every week I'm challenging myself and my body

I workout an average of 4 days a week, and the workouts are pretty intense. I used to be a runner, but I could never stick with it consistently. It took me a long time to admit to myself that I hate running! So I do taekwondo twice a week, then the other days I do classes in the gym, like Insanity, Zumba, Rowing, or Body Combat. So fun. So motivating. I really believe in finding something you enjoy so you stick with it.

I work out 1 ½ every day 6-7 days a week down 70.

I'm about 9 weeks out and I've began to exercise three times a week for about 30 to 35 mins. I was just wondering what everyone else is doing.

I am 11 months post-op and am swimming three-four plus times a week. I usually swim an hour of laps. Some days in addition to laps, I take a Water aerobics class, or do my own thing with water weights and ab work. I also usually do some leg exercises in the water given to me by my PT (for about 10 minutes or so) and then do a stretching cool down.

Can you tell it is hard for me to want to get out of the pool once I get in?
