The Gym...

[Pink nova 99]

I started working out a month after surgery. I’m now 11 months out and have been working out 6 days a week since then. I do kickboxing which I love because I get to take out all my aggression! Lol. I find the gym too boring so I’m so glad I found something that keeps my interest. Just find something you genuinely enjoy doing and you will stick to it.

Before the surgery I tried the gym and it was always a struggle because I wasn’t interested. Now that I found out what I love doing, I never have to drag my feet. It’s my fav part of the day. Who would have thought that fitness would be enjoyable?! Lol

Good luck. Remember baby steps...you got this! Losing weight is one thing but working out and seeing yourself build strength and stamina is so empowering!!! Of course, there will be days where you lack motivation and just don’t feel like it...that’s when you have to push through. Don’t think and just do. 👍🏽

I still have 1 week till I’m allowed to go to the gym, but I plan to start with aquagym. No sweaty feeling, plus it trains all your muscles. I will see how it goes and then try to move to harder proper gym sessions

So I’m at my one year and I did most of my exercise via walking. And honestly it wasn’t until the 6+ week that I even had the energy to deal with walking and didn’t get real distance/time until well past 12 weeks.

I have yet to go to a “gym.” I’m back at my yoga studio that I was at at 300lbs+. I now go several times a week with yoga and cardio classes.

You’re doing fine. Don’t beat yourself if not perfect.
