What types of exercise are you doing?

Hi everybody! I was just wondering what types of workouts my fellow bandsters are doing? I just started exercising again, and so far I've only been walking (outdoors and on the treadmill), but I am taking a Zumba class tomorrow -- I loved those pre-band! Lots of fun and I'm hoping it'll help me off of my plateau. I hope you all are doing well! We are well on our way.

I've heard Zumba is fun! I'm too lazy (lol) to go to a gym though. I like working out at home. Each day usually I do P90X, jump rope, run for 10-20 mins, and medicine ball squats, twists, and sit-ups.

My husband is doing P90 -- you are definitely not lazy if you do that -- it's hardcore! . I've got to start doing sit ups, twists, and squats -- good suggestion -- my midsection is a problem area. Zumba is a lot of fun, hardly feels like exercise -- the DVDs are good for home use (I did those on busy work weeks).

How long after surgery do we have to wait before we do more strenuous activities like P90X?

Primarily since being banded 5 years ago I've been a runner. I also go to the gym 3 times a week to do a short run on the treadmill followed by Body Pump. I was doing an outdoor bootcamp for the past 18 months which I think was way better but our trainer has moved, and I havent found another group, so I joined the gym instead. On the days I dont go to the gym I run 6 to 10kms outside, depending how I feel, how much time I have etc. I sometimes do a spin class prior to body pump rather than run on the treadmill.
