mtnman428 1 Posted August 4, 2008 Hi, I've only been slowly walking on the treadmill for 30-35 minutes per day at about 2.8-2.9 mph (less than 1 mile), but I'm only 11 days out from surgery. My doc said that I could resume (real) exercise after 3 weeks, so I assume that would be fine. You should really just monitor it by how you feel while doing it, and if you feel that your body is handling it. You could also double check with your Dr.'s office. Caloriesperhour.com has a great walking (and activities) calculator. It will calculate how many calories you have burned, when you put in a few different variables, like, your weight, height, etc... Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

choopie 0 Posted August 4, 2008 Where did you buy this DVD? I am looking for a cd to listen to while on the treadmill... hi i got it @ best buys it cost $14.99 i actually just put it on like 15 mins ago cause i cant sleep its grt she makes you walk at a normal rates and she tells you when you have completed each mile so you know if you need to stop at 1, 2,3,miles or wherever you r comfortable im sure if you check on Amazon you will find many workout cd's can can fit your style good luck !!!
