Jeff, what is a Nustep? I joined a local gym and saw a trainer for a session to get me started again on the treadmill. I have bad arthritic knees and need to strengthen and USE the muscles in my legs again. I use a cane. Before the surgery I could barely walk a few feet, I would be short of breath and in such pain. Now with my 44 pounds gone I am walking and breathing sooooo much better. I had tried an elliptical machine last year but it hurt my knees to much. After I see the surgeon next week for my 2+ month post op visit, I hope to get clearance to use the nautilis equipment. Keep up your great work. Monica

Hi Monica.A nustep is where you sit down and use your arms ang legs.it's a great workout without all your weight being on your knee's and back. here is the web site check it out.I hope it helps.You keep up the great work too! Jeff http://www.nustep.com/

Keep up the great work guys!! You can do it!!! Beckie

You all are doing great with your workouts. I am still in need of starting something. When I feel good I walk for about 20 min. I know I need to do more, but I still feel so big it hurts my bones. I think when I lose a little more I will feel more like working out. Liz

2 miles on the treadmill!

I'm a little late replying but here goes. Included in the surgery price was a 6 month membership to the Del Sol Center's gym. I've been going for about 4 weeks (surgery 12/14). At first I just did the treadmill slow. Last night they approved me to do not only the treadmill(3.5hr for 25-30 min), the EDX (like a ski/step machine for 30 min) but now also upper and lower body weights and exercises. Even the Ab lounger which surprisingly didn't bother me like I thought it might. 2 repitions of 10 each. One for the front and one for each of the obliques. The instructor said I could do upper body i day and lower body another but that I should do the abs every time and build up to 3 repitions of 30 each. The major problem is getting all this done when I get off at 4 get to the gym at 4:30 and try to get it all done and get to after daycare by 6 to pick up my daughter. She taking her TAKS test for 3rd grade today XXXX your fingers for her. Linda 233/188/130
