almam 61 Posted January 16, 2013 I walk 30 min 2-3 days and couch 2 5k for 3...@ least 1 day of rest. I want to get back to zumba but not sure i can do an hr yet. Its barely my 2nd wk of working out because of a few set backs but should I be working on strengthening with some light weights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommyd 125 Posted January 16, 2013 Treadmill and stationary bike 1 hour, 4 times a week in the morning. 30 minute walk for lunch. Walk or jog 1 hour, 3 to5 times a week in the evening. Play basketball one night a week. Gotta go time for my lunch time walk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aroundhky 1,174 Posted January 16, 2013 I lift weights 4-5 times a week and do cardio 1-2 times a week. One of the cardio sessions is my weekly Muay Thai for one hour and the other I run or do stationary bike for 30-45 minutes. On my lifting (resistance training), 1-2 of those are of the HIRT (High Intensity Resistance Traning) which involves olympic lifts.....but they really kick my butt and I can't do them more than twice a week.

ashley18 8 Posted January 17, 2013 Has anyone tried Zumba? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almam 61 Posted January 17, 2013 Has anyone tried Zumba? Yes!! Luv it! I like it better when I used to go to the activity center than the dvds. I like it when the guy would change it up everyday. My hr would go by fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SweetnCurvy 112 Posted January 17, 2013 I have done different things over time. I used to do Water aerobics 2x a week plus elliptical and strength training. It was good but if you don't mix it up' date=' you don't continue to progress so I decided to do higher intensity workouts. Lately I have been doing spinning, pilates/yoga and boot camp type classes. Wow - that increase in intensity resulted in fast results but i couldn't have done it without the many months of doing other things getting stronger. The boot camp class is really hard for me - i am clearly at the bottom 20% of the class in terms of ability, but heck, pushups, sprints, circuit training all sorts of stuff really pushes me.[/quote'] Wow...this is the same journey I plan to take after my surgery. Starting with less tense workouts and working my way up to boot camp. You are doing great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kdedeo 52 Posted January 18, 2013 I do Water aerobics 3-4 times per week & walk 2o-30 minutes nearly every day. I'm 3 months out from surgery. In two weeks, I'll try snowshoeing. I tried some of the weight machines, but I hate them. I'd rather do what I love. .. I'm more likely to actually do it. At some point, I want to go back to spinning. I enjoyed that a long time ago & would love to get back to it. But I'll wait until I'm a bit stronger. Sleeve date: Oct. 15.
