What is your exercise routine?



Recommended Posts

I am trying to see if I am on the right track as far as exercise is concerned. I walk/jog 3 miles a day six days a week. outdoors which takes me an hour with hills and things. I am losing weekly with walking the three miles, probably 3lbs a week. I am now under 298 lbs hoping to keep losing consistently. I found some kettle bell exercises and dumb bell moves for strength training how often should I incorporate the Strength training?

Really want to know what you guys are doing to lose weight and maintain the weight loss.

I break my exercise up. I am exercising more than an hour a day in 30-45 minute blocks, morning and evening. This is just the cardio part, and that is 6-7 days a week

I am trying to build muscle so I can burn more calories. I lift heavy with low reps, 3 days a week. I haven't got to the point of being able to say if it is working or not yet, too new, and it takes a while to build muscle.

I am still having difficulty walking any distance so I do most of my exercise in the pool. 1-2 hours deep-water Water aerobics/calisthenics/weights most days (weather permitting).

The running coaches at the local pro running shop told me to jog every other day, not every day, especially since I have some arthritis in my knee and hip. Here's my exercise routine from the past week, it's pretty standard:

Today: 48 minutes jogging

Yesterday: 40 minutes circuit training (mixed weights/shadow boxing/aerobics - Kelly Coffey-Meyer Circuit Burn dvd)

Wednesday: one hour jogging

Tuesday: 25 minutes low impact HIIT (Cathe Friedrich Ripped with HIIT dvd)

Monday: 50 minutes jogging

Sunday: 20 minutes HIIT (Cathe Friedrich All Out Low Impact HIIT dvd) + 40 minutes weights (Leslie Sansone 30 Day Firm dvd)

Saturday: one hour jogging

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
