I only do classes. Bootcamp, power barbell, interval and spinning. I try to mix it up and get spinning 2x a week for a great cardio workout. My gym has 2 pools, but those classes are always packed. good luck to you.

Spin is a GREAT cardio class. You can really go in and start at your own pace, let the instructor know that it is your first time and you will find yourself adding more as you go. One of those great activities that has the option of buying shoes for, anything that you can buy new shoes for must be great!!!! At my gym, any class instructor will tell you to work at your own pace, but push yourself, there are alternatives for most exercises. (ie bad knees or shoulders)

I do a lot of free weights and core exercises with my trainer. I also try to do 1 class a week whether it be yoga, trx, strength etc. and then on Sundays I spend most of my time on the treadmill and elliptical.

I am trying to get up the courage to do the spin class.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
