Your exercise routine

In a typical day, what do you do for exercise?

I walk for about two miles and do strength training so that when I lose weight fast, the loose skin won't be *as* bad.

What do you do?

15 months post-op - I have a personal trainer I work with for 30 minutes twice a week. On those days, I also run 30 minutes or more.

Then three additional days a week, I run at least 45 minutes and do more resistance training for 15-20 minutes.

My doctor said walking right away walk walk walk.. I started the stationary bike at 3 weeks Doctor made a great suggestion this week, 3 types of exercise at least and do them no more than 2 days a week and not in a row.. gotta switch it up so the body doesnt get used to it

  • 3 weeks later...

I work with a trainer two days a week, 60 minute sessions -- free weights, weight machines, TRX set up and stuff like Swiss ball squats (ouchie), planks (double ouchie) and sit ups. I try to get to the gym two other days a week to do cardio but really I should be doing something six days a week. I found I like rowing quite a bit, so will start changing that up between the treadmill. Just not quite there yet. I do feel better when I work out though.
