About 4 months post op I wanted to increase from just cardio to something that would build strength etc. I am so lucky they had just opened a Burn Boot Camp in my area.
The concept is a 45 minute high intensity workout led by a trainer. The majority of classes are women only and they offer free child care at many. This community of women has pushed me and encouraged me and held me accountable. After my surgery I was having trouble finding friends who embraced a more active lifestyle and this group was my answer. My very first day I couldn’t even do half the work out but everyone embraced me just the same. You also have one on one sessions with the trainer to track measurements, get nutrition help etc.
They have locations nation wide and they are expanding so check to see if they are in your area. I consider this one of the best victories for me post surgery so I thought I would share my experience, in case anyone with out there is looking.
