How Much Do I Exercise?



Recommended Posts

May seem a silly questions...but still. How much should I be exercising now? I go in for my 6month the end of September now. I feel great and am currently doing 3 times a week in the gym, about an hour to an hour and a half per visit. Should I be doing 5 days a week in the gym? I'm stil losing weight, not at the rocket pace I started at, but I'm told thats normal. What are your thoughts or how you all do it?

Right now I have it split up.....30min of cardio, walking, jogging, eliptical...I switch it up, the rest of the time is weights.

I'm 3 months out, I do 1/2 hr of circuit training 3 days a week, then 1/2 hr exercise bike 1 day, and 3 mile walk one day, then play with my kids on the weekend and call that my cardio.

I also have a very physical job that requires a lot of walking, pulling and heavy lifting, so, that wraps up my program.

Im about a year out & ever since I was allowed to go back post op Ive went at least 5 days wk (some weeks Ill go all 7 days but I wouldn't recommend it, Im just addicted). I started out with 1 hr visits but now go for about 1.5 hrs per visit splitting the time between cardio (elliptical) & weights. One week Ill do low weight hi reps (burn fat) the next Ill to higher weight fewer reps (build muscle).

      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.

      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.
