GradyCat 3,695 Posted January 13, 2019 So far I've been to the gym every day this year in 2019 (all 13 days, haha) but my goal is to work out at least 4 days per week. I do 30 minutes of cardio and 10-15 minutes of strength training each session, but I want to eventually ramp up and work out harder/faster/longer, but I'm only one month post-op so I'm still healing and don't want to push it yet. 2 ARMoma45 and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted January 13, 2019 Well it is snowy outside in Ohio, not gonna March out and fall on my tookus, bust a bone or two. But Spectrum, the former Time Warner has a low impact senior citizen.exercise program , lasts about 12 minutes. Surely I can start with that, even if I don't make it to swimsuit quality I can enough that I look passable in Bermuda or Jaimaca Shorts. And that's a plus right there! 3 ARMoma45, clsumrall and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenTealael 25,430 Posted January 14, 2019 Squat challenge! I need this so bad, starting tomorrow... 3 1 Emilia DD, Healthy_life, Avery's Mom and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
insta_adventurer 1,046 Posted January 14, 2019 I’m back to spin class tomorrow after a 1.5 month break. Hope I don’t die. 😂😂 Also- when I started working out, I weighed about 380lbs. I highly recommend doing a few sessions with a personal trainer if you can swing it financially. They ensure proper form and help you prevent injury... also, and this is super helpful for people of size, they should be able to modify the exercises to your physical abilities. I’m trying to get back on my workout game. I feel like I say this a lot. My better half is in SF this week for work, so I’m trying to use this time to get back in my routine. 4 clsumrall, GreenTealael, Healthy_life and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DebbyC64 31 Posted January 15, 2019 I worked out today for the first time since my surgery. I did okay, but I’m a little sore tonight. No pain no gain.💪🏼 3 GreenTealael, Healthy_life and clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,430 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Winter is trying to get me y'all... There was the clearest sheet of ice everywhere. I'm jumping rope indoors and maybe I'll go to the gym for weight training since it's not a pizza or bagel day for members, wtf right...
