Sleevorama 56 Posted September 4, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theoldmusicbox 399 Posted September 5, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb14075 10 Posted September 5, 2012 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
