Taking_back_my_life 21 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) That all sounds doable, yay! What's the exercise class all about? Oddly enough , I actually really like working out lol, although I have made a point not to until I get my first weigh in, I don't want to accidently lose 5lbs by some miracle and not make the bmi required lol, I'm not against putting a 2lb weight in my pocket . happy Llama sad Llama... big fat mama Llama. The exercise "class" is just an information type thing. They will have you walk for 6 mins and get your heart rate abs go over some things you should be doing. Nothing stressful at all. You'll see them 3 times during the program both before and after surgery Edited October 4, 2016 by Taking_back_my_life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol... They don't list the classes on line. It will be one day a week, I think mine was on Mondays, for 6 weeks. You will have to call and get in the list for the next round of classes . I really enjoyed the class and got a lot out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
