Actually, for me, I've found that I enjoy my workouts. I'm shocked actually! But I remember how I started and how far I've come. It's like a little competition with myself and I try to do more or better each time I go.

For me, right now the main exercise I do is the exercise bike. I go for about 35 min now on level 4-9. Then I do some resistant weights. I would love to do more, but I have a really bad knee. So the bike is the only cardio I can do.

I've grown to love exercise and it's almost second nature to me. I do it daily because it is good for my lungs, heart and body. Recent studies have shown that exercise is one of the best things we can do for longevity. I also change my routine often, step aerobics, spin, zumba, stair-master, threadmill work, walking with my hubby or find a hill around the house to walk up and down for 30 minutes. In addition, I lift weights to keep the flab at bay and help with my strength conditioning. I was lifting weights yesterday up at the gym and warmed up with 145lbs on the bench then moved up to 195. The old grandma at 45 still amaze the young guys who are pushing 145, I just have fun with it, after the workout I told my hubby I can't wait for my surgery because I am going to be a "beast".

p.s. I too have bad knees so I stick with low impact exercises.

Finding MEme...well good luck to you on your surgery. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. Keep us informed on how you are doing.
