What Is Your Workout Routine???



Recommended Posts

I go to kickboxing 5 days a week. I do stregth training to failure one day (may increase it to 2) days a week. Even though I was go to kickboxing 5 days one day I would go twice and 2 days I would take like 1.5 classes. I'm going to try to cut those out because I actually believe it is hindering my weight loss (I believe I'm not eating enough for it to help with my weight loss. I'm crossing my fingers that that starts the scale moving again. I also go to the gym once a week and do the elliptical.

So I workout 6 days a week.

My routine is 6 day a week for 2 to 3 hours in the gym!

Sunday, Monday, Thurday & Friday (2 hours) 1 hour 30mins of Cardio ( Treadmill or PreCor machine) 30 mins of weight training (either upper or lower body) and abds

Tuesday & Saturday (3 hours) 1 hour 30mins of Cardio ( Treadmill or PreCor machine) 30 mins of weight training (either upper or lower body) and abds and 1 hour of Zumba

Wednesday OFF DAY

I started out going to the gym at 3 am. Now I am doing a evening routine and next month I will mix the two. Trying to not have my body get stuck in a really routine of doing thing, so that I do not plateau. Keep it confused and just when it think that I am on a routine I switch it up.

I am loving working out! I miss it on wednesday to be honest. But I know that my body need to reboot.

I go to the gym 5 times a week and workout for an hour. I spend 30 minutes on the treadmill, 15 minutes on the eliptical, and 15 minutes on the bicycle. I was told not to do any weights or lifting until my next fill on February 7th. I eventually hope to do the eliptical for 30 minutes (that thing burns some serious calories!) and 15 minutes on everything else. Also, once I get clearance, I'll probably do strength exercises 2 out of the 5 days a week.

My workout routine is as follows:

40 min on the total gym

20 min walking

December 1st For the first time I got serious about exercising, I wanted to make it a room I wanted to go to, so I hooked up a little stereo for my AC/DC (Back in Black will move a body good) sometimes Lou Bega, if I am just wanting to be super happy and silly, then I went on eBay and bought Bath and Body Works wallflower plug ins a stress release scent vanilla Verbena that I trade out with a lemongrass candle, hooked up a large fan and put a lock on the door.

I started out walking 3 days a week for ten min(thinking whooo), now as soon as I get off work kick off my shoes throw on my stretchies and get on the total gym start with set ups (was 10 now an easy 40) I do arms legs back shoulders stomach, then on the treadmill for 20 min, it has 7 different programs that I rotate through each day just to keep it exciting.

For the first time ever I am seeing a change, every day someone gives me a compliment (best motivation of all) I am now doing 6 days a week, Because of the workout I am usually not hungry, so a small lean cuisine or health choice is perfect, and I have finally started drinking more Water, I am also still motivated from the workout and end up doing a little house cleaning as well.

I use to come home seriously starving and spend the evenings channel surfing, saving the house work for the weekends.

I have never pushed exercise or dieting on other family members, but for the last 3 days they have been working out with me, they said they have seen such a change in me that they want one to.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
