PrettyMe 18 Posted August 15, 2013 How much exercise have you done in the past? Hardly any. Just walking mainly..I do have 1 ten lb weight but have no idea what i can do with it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
music1618 879 Posted August 15, 2013 Hardly any. Just walking mainly..I do have 1 ten lb weight but have no idea what i can do with it.. Well then you need to start slowly. Walking maybe boring, but it is where you should start. Start out walking a short distance and increase by a little each day. I would wait on using the ten pound weight. The worst thing you can do is too much too soon. You will wake up sore and not want to continue to exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard about those community zumba classes..i think it was like 5 dollars or something. I never went pre op because i didnt want to embarrass myself, but after losing 41 lbs total, it gave me a little confidence boost lol so i might just have to try that! 1 roundfuzzy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That can help jump start my weightloss again... You can go on youtube and look up Shaun Ts beach body, or rocking body and do that as a workout...its basic dancing you can do it in the comfort of your home and most important its fun...then if you search on youtube other exercises they have that too.... I refuse to pay for the gym, so I do my things at home and walk, and just staying active....Hope this helps good luck 1 roundfuzzy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
