30 day shred

My gym is going to be starting classes. I am not sure when, but they have been playing the DVDs in the reception area and I can hardly wait for the classes to start.

Look at the U tube demonstration on the beginning of this thread. It looks like so much fun!

Wow, I started looking for classes near my house and found a bunch! Now how many weeks do I need to wait post op before I start these classes?

Dr. Aceves says 6 weeks and then you can exercise as tolerated. (Gonna have to get that list of classes from you - maybe we can go together!)

omg ash i do walk away the lbs too. And i'm so annoyed and tired of it as well. i hate the boring music, the boring moves and the boring people- including the instructor.

Now i'm all for danceing as excersise but it looks alittle too fun and easy for me. There's no reps or anything. It just looks like danceing. Do people really get a good cardio workout with this? i cant do a class but i can do dvds. i think i might give the zumba a try.

I love Zumba and I usually burn between 500-700 calories, depending on how long I do it. Last night I did 45 minutes and burned a little over 600 calories.

I'm going to start adding in the 30 day shred twice a week. I did level one of the shred Monday and I'm in so much pain STILL today. I'm way out of shape strength-wise. I've got plenty of cardio endurance, but when it comes to strength and flexibility, I'm out.

I took about a month and a half break from exercising (Thanksgiving until this week) because of all sorts of fun excuses...I was sick, had a back thing, got a puppy, etc. HAHA! But now I'm motivated again and I'm trying to see where I can squeeze in a workout this afternoon when I really don't have time for it, but we shall see!!!
