will do. Have been doing it for only 3 days, but think it is going to work. Really, really hope it is going to work!:thumbup:

The best exercise is the one you'll do and if you do anything regularly and cosistently it will work.

I hate the gym too, I really cant be bothered going through that routine. But I love running and I love bootcamp and I've been really consistent with them and they've worked wonders. Dont feel pressured to go to the gym if its not for you, walking is great if its what you like to do.

So glad you found us. I have found this site to be supportive and friendly. A real sense of belonging.

I would like to hear more about your walking program.

I too hate the gym, however, I will be forced to go since Il live in Minnesota and our winters can be rough.

I will be banded in the next few weeks. See surgeon on the 16th.

Keep in touch.

Hi

Super good luck with your surgery and recovery. Yes, in MN it would be hard to do an outdoor program, but if there were an indoor track somewhere you could do it. The program is by Prevention in a book called "Walk Off Weight". It is an 8 week program building you up with resistance band excercises and stretches, core, upper body, lower body. I am enjoying it. Now I have to go quit the gym!
