What did you do for exercise today?

The day I came home from WLS was the day they opened up Helmer Road (exit 95 off I-94), where I live, with a new sidewalk and a linear path on the other side. I have been walking every day, am over 1 1/2 miles now.

Greg, Thanks for the encouragement on my post & dittos on the walking. I walk at least a mile at lunch everyday plus I try to walk a half mile at night when I get home. Plus I have 2 eight lb weights that I am constantly lifting to try and tone up my arms.

I dug out a couple of 4 lb dumbells and started working the arms today. Thanks for the tip

Hi Greg! I'm almost 3 weeks post-op. When I first came home from the hospital, I started out just walking around the block and quickly built up to at least a mile a day. Today I went to the Y and did a mile and a half on the treadmill and will try to get out for another walk tonight. I've only had one bad day since surgery and that was the day I didn't go for a walk. Keep on walking! Julia

I went shopping and walked around the store, non stopeven walked in place while I was browsing the toy's for over 1 hour. Yesterday and the day before I took my daughter for a walk both days over 2 hours a piece. I have been trying to get in as much as I can before the snow starts to fall. I start the gym hopefully next week. Shannon

Well, all of you outdid me! LOL But that's okay - I went to the Y and walked 1/4 of a mile. I think that's good since I have MS and I've been very weak.

Leslie, Good job on walking today! Even if you didn't have the MS to deal with, it's good that you're walking! The important thing is making that effort. Other than the tiredness, which is understandable, I hope you are feeling good. I haven't done much today, plan on walking again tonight with the hubby. He is researching our insurance options (it's open enrollment time) to see if we can get any reimbursement for health club membership so I can join a gym. Everyone keep up the good work! love, Sue

Good job Leslie. Keep it going!
