I am heading back to the gym tonight.. i am going to start with just cardio... no lifting yet. I havent been there in a month.. so its going to be like starting all over . I lost 40 lbs pre op from last december. i cant wait to go back... I just wanted to know if any of you started doing any kind of excer.

Hi,

As soon as I was able to start exercising I did. I started with walking the mall, one lap then two and so on. I then joined the gym with my daughter last February. I tried doing different classes to see how liked them, but decided the tread mill was the best for me. I do the FAT burn program for 45 min. and usually burn about 450 calories. I then maybe 3 times a week add in weights, depending on my time.

I love the gym, I like going with my daughter, even if we might be doing different work outs.

Keep it up!:biggrin:

thank you so much... im going back tonight.. ill let ya know how i do..lol

Hi

I've been banded a week today, I plan on hitting the gym next week just for light cardio. I'll get into weights etc in about 6 weeks.

How was the gym? Did you find it difficult or tiring two weeks after surgery?

Hope you had a wonderful time and a good workout!

I go 5 days a week. 40 mins. of Cardio a day and 4 times a week (2 days upper/2 days lower) body with the weight machines. In addition I do 2 60 mins. long water aerobics classes a week. I work one on one with a trainer and love every minute of it!

i went lastnight.. it was good.. i only did cardio... which was fine to start... nine miles on the bike... took about 25 min... it was great.. going again this morning...:thumbup: hopefully the pounds will shed shed shed now!

Hola People...today was my first day Post-op at the gym and man am I in pain !! All the tolerance I had built up pre-op on the eliptical machine went down the tubes.I did 30mins on the treadmill with a WL program. Hope to get back on the elliptical by weeks end. Still havent started the weights, think its best to weight to completely heal.

Well my goal is to start 3 days a week and go from there.

I was walking 35 min. the day after surgery. I walk everyday. I am ready for fall so it won't be so hot.

so far i have gone everyday this week..and i am about to leave right now... i think ill take the weekend off. :w00t:

Good Job MommyX2!

Don't burn your self out! Having one "cheat night" is always a good thing, it gets you through the whole rest of the week. I go out every Friday night with my husband "Date Night" and have a drink and usually share a meal. I am always aware of what we choose and make sure its not too bad, then I know just what I need to do at the gym the next day!

Have fun, this is a great thing we have done for ourselves.

Hi was thinking of getting a trainer. What does your trainer have you doing?
