Gym, first time, tomorrow

[Smokey12 71]

Well tomorrow I am going to the gym for the first time since I was sleeved. (12/17/12)

I've lost 30 pounds, and I'm looking forward to doing the eliptical trainer. I hope I can do 10 minutes, and then I will walk too.

I also plan on starting a light weightlifting program.

Wish me luck!

good for you! And best of luck! No doubt you will really appreciate being 30 lbs lighter when you're on the elliptical

Congrats on your your continued success -- I am soooo looking forward to being there too

consider yoga. The "yoga for weight loss" programs are bunk, in my opinion. yoga is not for weight loss, but facilitates it. Find a studio with good teachers, a wide variety of times, it does not have to be a beginners class if you are in the right studio! Pose modifications exist so that anyone can participate.

PS- but cardio is good too. yoga does not replace cardio, but it enhances EVERYTHING!

Good for you! I'm starting back at the gym this weekend too and I'm looking forward to getting some of my cardio back.

I am 11days out of surgery & went to my 1st post op consult ystdy -- doc has asked me to start eplitical & gymming, just crunches & heavy weights are a no-no....Also,the diet has to be full liquids, except for gatorade when i exercise.
