Oh that is a good idea I will have to find myself some tapes. I was wondering how long I should wait before I start doing full on workouts. Right now ( three weeks in) I am allowed to walk as much as I want but that's it.

Stair climber....the kind that looks like an escalator with about five steps. If u go slow, tighten your Buns as you step, it works legs and butt. I do about 20-25 minutes to music and headphones. You burn a lot of calories and sweat! I feel like I get a great workout.

Kickboxing! I am addicted to it. I go 6 days a week. And I have to FORCE myself to take the 7th day off.

No kidding! When my wife and I started, we thought we would die after running for 20 minutes. Then it was 40. Now we can do an hour! It is amazing how much easier it becomes over time -- as you lose weight and get your body conditioned. :D

I have an array of exercises I enjoy EXCEPT running!

I take Muay Thai kickboxing classes, I now teach Zumba classes and take them. I do heavy weightlifting (squat 205#, benchpress 115#, deadlift 225# and leg press 600#). I do circuits and weight training with my trainer as well. Any functional exercise is great as well (playing sports with the kids, doing a fitness circuit at my kid's highschool, etc.).

Ranking them...kickboxing, zumba, weightlifting, circuits~

Jazzercise! Jazzercise! Jazzercise! I love Jazzercise.

Check out this blog post that shows how much Jazzercise has changed my body shape, even though I am still the same weight on the scale.

Let's talk about my back fat:

My favortie has constantly changed as my body has changed. I use to love the elliptical, then it was the arc. Now I do very little cardio and focus on weight lifting. It is my new passion!

Right now I'm walking and doing couch to 5K. Tried Zumba, it was difficult for me but I will pick it back up. I would love to try aqua fitness, Pilates and yoga.

I love swimming. I go out every morning and swim for 30-45 minutes. I'm not Michael phelps- I just paddle back and worth while I listen to music. It's very enjoyable. I change the stroke every lap but I don't stop. I'm more if an indoor girl but I actually look forward to it. When it's cooler I walk the dog with my neighbor. The key is to find something you like doing. It doesnt make the weight fall off but i sure feel better doing it! It clears my head and gives me more energy. Does anyone have suggestions for good exercise CDs?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
