I've wanted to join a gym but funds are limited. What exercises do non gym folks do? Currently I'm just walking but think I need to increase my activity.

There are tons of exercise videos on youtube that you can do for free, like dance exercise, isometric exercise that you don't need any equipment for, etc. You can also just turn on Pandora or any music service and play peppy music and dance.

I highly recommend Leslie Sansone videos on YouTube for cardio. There are tons of free videos available and they're great. I do these every day. There's something for everyone, from beginners to advanced, and the videos vary in length from about 10 minutes to 50 minutes (I often do two or three shorter ones back-to-back just to mix it up).

I use resistance bands for strength training. You can get a decent set for about $50 and there are free videos on YouTube for that, too.

FitOn is a great app that offers some free workouts. They also have a subscription which was $20 for a whole year when I paid for it. I have since switched to a CrossFit gym to challenge myself further, but I really liked FitOn when I was working out at home.

Many TV subscription plans come with a ton of free exercise videos that you can use/do. I know Comcast/Xfinity used to and I believe Amazon Firestick does too.

if you're into those walking ones on youtube, also check out "Reps to the Rhythm" on youtube - I actually like him better than Leslie Sansone!

I also do Water aerobics and I bike (as in cycling...)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
