Dub 9,922 Posted February 27, 2016 My main form of exercise is walking. Treadmills & outside. I'm able to walk a great deal at work, too. I've also resumed weight training. Low weight-high rep count and working around bum shoulder and failing recent hernia repair. Approaching the five month mark soon, too. I'm going to add the elliptical machine on my next gym visit Monday. It gives me a better calorie burn in a shorter duration than the treadmill walking.

Just want to gage where everyone else is at I swim: laps, Water aerobics, etc. As soon as I was cleared to get in the Water I have been in the pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted February 28, 2016 I was about where you are weight-loss-wise at five months out. I was also doing the following exercise-wise at that point (and still do): 2x a week: swimming or Water aerobics or Aqua Zumba 2x a week: some kind of strength-training (usually TRX) at least 2x a week: yoga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gpmed 623 Posted February 29, 2016 I stepped up my exercise game about six weeks ago. I do BodyPump twice a week and some other activity most other days -- walking (2-4 miles), elliptical (about 50 minutes) or class like BodyStep (60 minutes). I'm 5 months out and I've lost 72 pounds so far. It was definitely faster in the beginning than it is now, but that seems normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
