Just wondering how much exercise everyone gets in a week and what type and intensity level

I am 5 months post op. I walk about a mile 3-4 times a week at work. I also work out 3 nights a week at a local gym. Intermittently running and walking a mile and doing light weights/many reps.

Moderate, I guess

I am 8 months out and I go to the YMCA about 3-4 times a week. I do 30-45 minutes of cardio walking around 1.6-2 miles. I also do weight machines every time I go. One day I will do my upper body then the next time I will do my lower body. I switch off each time.

I started cize 6 week training. It's everyday for six weeks. I don't think I can hang everyday. I also have a bow flex and try to get some strength training every other day. I'm just so exhausted after work lately that I really haven't been consistent.

7 months post op. I exercise 5 days a week-- three days hard exercise like running or swimming and two days weight training plus 30 mins walking the dogs.

Should add that I'm not as consistent as I could be!

That is what I have been doing! I am just a little past 2 months out and do this same type of exercise each week. This week I have dropped the ball and only gone once so far, but I am going tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday so I can get it all in!

@kayshabear Thats great! It can be hard to find the time sometimes! I couldn't exercise right after surgery due to complications so I feel like I am behind! I am loving the gym though!

Yes! I just started the last couple of weeks making it a regular thing, but its so hard for me to get motivated to go by myself! My sister usually goes with me since my husband works nights and I work days so we never see each other much. But this week my sister is out of town so I am accountable for myself and I have dropped the ball haha. Going to make myself go tonight because I know how important it is! I want to lose at least 14 more pounds by my anniversary trip in April so I gotta kick my butt in gear!

@kayshabear It''s hard when you have a support and then they go out of town! I'm sure you'll make it there by April!!
