Okay Seriously, Lets talk about Exercising

[tori712]

Who does it,
Who DOESNT do it,
how much you do it,
and what you do?


I just want to see what everyone does if its just walking or more then that so I can see what I can do, I was loosing great weight and this whole month i have been stuff at 181, but I am walking, not much else, but I have read on here about people who never even WALK and loose a lot of weight, I know Its a tool and I am supposed to exercise but I just want a general idea from everyone and what they do!

Im the type to do it till I hurt or wanna throw up sounds bad but it pushes you....try it before you judge....go hard or or go home

[BeautifulMama]

I started doing Zumba about a month before I was sleeved. It's been a week and half ago since my surgery and I think I will continue to exercise in a couple of a days when I'm 2 weeks post op. I feel well enough to get going again.

i go to the gym 3/4 times a week and also swim x

[PenBB]

I walk and do yoga. Think I will have to give up yoga for a while post-op due to all the twisting/bending involved.

[Dee Leshuz]

I walk 1 hour one day, 2 hours alternate days. I need to do some strength training and/or yoga but it's hard for me to get motivated after all the walking

[cathyp357]

I do weight training twice a week, and mix up the cardio two to three times per week. I do elliptical, treadmill alternating jogging and incline and stationary bike. If I slack off on the cardio, weight loss really slows down.

I do not exercise at all. I also never dieted. My weight loss has been awesome but I think I am at my final plateau. If I dont stop sugary foods like ice cream and popsicles and icees (nearly daily) or start exercising I probably will not loose any more. I am happy at my current size 14 but I would not mind being a 12.
If I stay a 14 and still eat like I do now, and do not exercise, the surgery will still be worth every penny. I am very happy with my weightloss and the ease at which it came off. I had ALOT of long plateaus over the last 7 months, some lasted 3-4 weeks. And though i do not exercise I am very socially active and my job keeps me pretty active too. So there is that. I rarely sit and watch TV.

I went to the gym bunnies and got a work out programme when I was on Atkins. But I found it too restriciting; if you don't have two hours for a burn out, you don't want to go and you feel a failure.

Now I like to just go to the gym and burn off 600 calories according to the machines. Then I ___ off out of there.

Just returned to underwater hockey the other day. I loved it. Those endorphins whizz through your brain and you feel damn good.

[Neurorat]

I do weights/strength training 4X a week and run 5 days a week. I work abs daily. Love it!!

[cathyp357]

I think exercising is critical to longterm success and optimal health. But I think it also depends on what you are hoping to accomplish. I want to be healthy, so eating right MOST of the time, and exercising are steps I take to keep me headed toward better health. It is not just about the weight loss for me.

I ride my bike or use the elliptical for my cardio a minimum of 3 times a week, but I usually try to shoot for 4 times a week. At least 40 minutes per cardio session.

I do weight training twice a week, and only on days I don't do cardio (not that you CAN'T do them in the same day, I just don't want to exercise for nearly 2 hours at one time lol). Takes me about 40 minutes to complete my circuit (I focus on my entire body, so arms, legs, chest, back, etc).

[Gwyn]

I've gotten out of the habit of exercising lately. I know it's because I'm working so many hours these days and I know that I need to get back to it, but I'm having a hard time.

When I was doing well I was swimming four times a week and tried to do strength/muscle training at least once a week.

[tori712]

I can't just not get in to anything, I hate it,. I tell me self I want too, & then I never do, I'm failing because I don't know how to get my ass in gear & how to do it 4 times a week & longer then whayt I do gay..
