Exercise!

[bandtastic 0]

I am new to "bandland" I have been reading alot of posts, and just want to say thanks to everyone who does post. You have helped me through alot so far. I was banded on Jan 13, 2006 and I am down 25 lbs. What a lifestyle change for me. Change for the better of course.

BUT... My question here is....

What are people doing for there exercise rountine. What are some examples of time spent in the gym. How often do you up your exercise. How hard are you pushing yourselves at the gym? I was just curious to see what has been working and what hasn't been working. I have been going to the gym 5 nights a week... doing 20 mins or cardio and then weight training either arms or legs switching off each night.

Keep up the great postings and happy journey! :clap2:

I like Water aerobics, It keeps you cooled down and I can work out longer. I also like the way my joints don't get damaged and believe me the water resistance gives me a real workout. I used to go to curves but I had real trouble with my knees and hips. I hope you get a chance to try it. I work out with a lot of gray haired people and they are all so nice, no one has ever made me feel like a beached whale walking in my swimsuit. I really feel accepted.

I do a lot of dancing, lots of ab work, lots of stretching, lots of walking and working out with my pilaties ball.

Freebit's Exercise Routine:

1. Flip TV station up.

2. Flip TV station down.

3. Rinse, repeat.

Sometimes I go 2 TV stations up and down to really kick it up a notch.

52lbs in 5 months no joke. Seriously, I may actually start jogging again. I am in the weight range where I won't look foolish doing it. Whatever you do dont strees over it. If you dont feel like exercising right now, then don't. I beleive that when the time is right, you will want to do it naturally.
