Obeasta 92 Posted June 9, 2013 Hi losers! I need your help please. I am 2 months post op and don't have any exercise routine. I just want to know where you were at at 2 months and where i should be. I am foreign to the idea of exercise and don't know what is the best for me at the moment. I would like to do something at home. Have some kind of programme to follow. Invorporate walking and cycling and perhaps exercises at home with light dumbbels. What do you auggest? How often and length and all that? Dont want to go the gym as yet. Some tips and pointers i will really appreciate. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nel 189 Posted June 9, 2013 I bought a commercial grade elliptical off craigslist when a gym closed. I'm 2 months out. I do 30-45 minutes of intense cardio. Then I try to tone with hand weights. I suck at it though. I need to get better about the toning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElleG 394 Posted June 9, 2013 I have some old DVD's (walk away the pounds) they come in 1, 2 & 3 miles. It's a great workout. Maybe u can start with a DVD. I joined the Y, they have tons of free classes with the membership... What inspires me are the senior citizens in the classes working their butts off. Lol.

GG'sArtsMom 42 Posted June 10, 2013 couch to 5k, you can find the program online and do it in your neighborhood. I started it last week to help give me some focus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erikaloftin 62 Posted June 10, 2013 I love the couch to 5k app. I also love the zumba core game on xbox. I tried jogging but was having pain in my knees and the physical therapist said no more jogging until onederland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeticiaHuggins 177 Posted June 10, 2013 I have directTV and can stream YouTube on my front room flat screen. I do Tae Bo Advance, Zumba, Hip Hop workouts and 30 day shred. Regardless of my without I make sure I get 60 mins of walking in first. I also have arm weights so I do various arm workouts during the 1st half of my walk. In addition I have a medicine ball and I log on YouTube and do a workout. The medicine ball is great for muscle building. I try and burn 1000+ calories 6 days a week and rest my body 1 day. 1 ccwolf3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
