wm7041 2 Posted January 23, 2018 I had surgery 12/27..have lost 23lbs...has anyone started excercising? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigertia 2 Posted January 23, 2018 I have and I am going to have to learn some new things. I used to do Les Mils group fitness classes 5, sometimes 6 days a week. I did not try to go back to my regular routine. I tried the strength training class, with no weights or very light weights...got my butt kicked in a way a workout class never had in the past. I think it might have to do with the drastic change in calorie intake I am at now and probably because I am still working on in taking enough Water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted January 23, 2018 I walk 8 miles a day and I'm looking at a Water aerobics class in a heated therapy pool at the Y. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abefroman329 704 Posted January 23, 2018 I'm waiting to get cleared to start jogging again, because walking on a treadmill is godawful. Plus I've been doing just fine re weight loss without getting more than 4-5K steps per day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleeved2win 79 Posted January 24, 2018 I started at the two week mark, just walking. I did the elliptical at a slow and easy pace when the treadmills were all taken at my most recent trip to the gym, and that was even better (less resistance). Can't wait to get into Zumba and kickboxing!!!! Waiting for the six week mark before I kick it into high gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitty1392 14 Posted January 25, 2018 Sleeved on 12/26 I started slowwwly walking about a mile on the treadmill after the two week mark. I was just cleared today to “kick it up a notch”. So I walked faster today. Still don’t have the energy to do much more. I’m struggling to take in more than 600-700 calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losebig 508 Posted January 25, 2018 I’ve been walking a lot since surgery. Now that my lifting restriction is done I will start to do weights. I’m also planning on ramping up cardio, but hoping for slightly better weather... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleLizzieLilliput 919 Posted January 25, 2018 I just did my 10k steps a day till I was walking and jogging 7 - 12 miles a day. That took about 7 months. Then I moved on to Yoga and walking each day. After 6 months of slowly increasing the difficulty I am now doing this crazy boot camp yoga. Just kept needing more intensity as my fitness improves. I didn’t intend it to go this way, it’s just how it played out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CalGuy64 66 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I started back at the gym (weight training) after 4 months. Its scary the amount of strength you loose -- but it feels good in a strange my whole body hurts sort of way. I did squats for the first time in forever today. It was a humbling experience -- 115 pounds on the bar kicked my butt. Edited January 25, 2018 by CalGuy64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
