Frustrated...Excercise Smexercise

[Lynn_Marie 0]

I really appreciate everyone's advice on this. I have told myself that, hate the treadmill or not, I am going to get on it first thing in the morning...no excuses. I have set a goal of 30 minutes, but won't beat myself up if I don't last that long. Something I may not have mentioned in my first post is that my hips hurt really bad when I walk a ways. It's getting a little better, but they still hurt. I also have a knee that wants to give me the blues since I have lost some weight and become more active. So I'll just take it easy at first...but I'm gonna make myself do it!!!

I like the atmosphere at the Y. I wish it wasn't so high...and $50 is a special rate for educators!!! I'll be checking around to see if there is a gym anywhere close that is less.

the gym is disgusting. everyone there has ipods, be-bopping to their favorite music, while they ride different machines, chatting with their neighbors, lusting for innocent health freaks as they walk back and forth. sweating. news and sports shows on the monitors. more sweaty, sex-starved people walking past you. it's absolutely horrible.

do not go to the gym, and certainly do not make a habit of it

Bad monkey, no banana. haha.

The longer I've been banded, the more I believe wholeheartedly that exercise is the KEY to good results. Without it you just wont lose 100% of your excess weight. Nuff said.

This is so true..in fact I don't know anyone that has reached their goals that did not include exercise. Besides you look so much better too. :rose:

if nothing else Lunge (exercise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

do it at home. do what you can. work up. add weights if you want. works everything in the body than an elliptical trainer or stair stepper or tredmill does, at 100% less the cost. :-)

i like the gym because the machines are the lazy man's way. how do you think i got this fat!? :-)

God Bless Us.
