exercise bike, treadmill at home



Recommended Posts

I've restarted some cario workouts after a while since my regular workouts, and support of my diet buddy. Well I think my diet buddy has got other things to do, but now I can see how I will get past these reasons to stop regular workouts.

Anyway. I've started with my home exercise bike, watching my favourite diet programs, downsize me, diet doctors, uk's biggest user..As it's been about 6 months of not doing any thing (other than being feeling sorry for myself due to the 35 lbs I've gained with stopping smoking). And Great News! It's slowly working it's way down again (my weight), and this morning my waist measuremenst has come down an inch...32.

I notice that many people go to the gym. I am happy to stick to home, with the exercise bike, and treadmill. Many people doing their exercise activity at home?

during most of my weight loss I exercised at home. I have a treadmill.

Early on, I just jogged on it and listened to music. I'd do 4 miles per hour for 40 minutes or so. As I got fitter, I did more. I did stuff like cardiocoach, which is an MP3 interval training program, I have a treadmoves DVD (treadmill sprints and weight work combined) and I began running outside.

I gradually came to run mainly outside, using the treadmill only if it was late, raining or really really hot.

I also used to do my own made up circuit combining heavy weight work or sandbag work with running intervals on the treadmill.

Nowadays I'm running outside, and doiing 2 bootcamp sessions a week plus a circuit training class at the gym, which I take my son and his friend too. The bootcamp has got me working harder than I ever thought possible.

The biggest advantage to developing the discipline to working out at home and having a treadmill is that I never have an excuse not to do decent exercise.

Hi Jachut, you look so much more organised than me! I'm basically into cardio with moving my butt, to lose weight. It's early summer here, so I guess I'll have to force myself out :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
