exercise bike, treadmill at home



Recommended Posts

I've restarted some cario workouts after a while since my regular workouts, and support of my diet buddy. Well I think my diet buddy has got other things to do, but now I can see how I will get past these reasons to stop regular workouts.

Anyway. I've started with my home exercise bike, watching my favourite diet programs, downsize me, diet doctors, uk's biggest user..As it's been about 6 months of not doing any thing (other than being feeling sorry for myself due to the 35 lbs I've gained with stopping smoking). And Great News! It's slowly working it's way down again (my weight), and this morning my waist measuremenst has come down an inch...32.

I notice that many people go to the gym. I am happy to stick to home, with the exercise bike, and treadmill. Many people doing their exercise activity at home?

during most of my weight loss I exercised at home. I have a treadmill.

Early on, I just jogged on it and listened to music. I'd do 4 miles per hour for 40 minutes or so. As I got fitter, I did more. I did stuff like cardiocoach, which is an MP3 interval training program, I have a treadmoves DVD (treadmill sprints and weight work combined) and I began running outside.

I gradually came to run mainly outside, using the treadmill only if it was late, raining or really really hot.

I also used to do my own made up circuit combining heavy weight work or sandbag work with running intervals on the treadmill.

Nowadays I'm running outside, and doiing 2 bootcamp sessions a week plus a circuit training class at the gym, which I take my son and his friend too. The bootcamp has got me working harder than I ever thought possible.

The biggest advantage to developing the discipline to working out at home and having a treadmill is that I never have an excuse not to do decent exercise.

Hi Jachut, you look so much more organised than me! I'm basically into cardio with moving my butt, to lose weight. It's early summer here, so I guess I'll have to force myself out :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
