Need your help!
Hello to all,
I am just gathering some info on the wants and needs of Obesity Help members. What issues, topics, subjects or anything else about exercise and fitness would you like to see formally covered by Obesity Help in the forum area.
Post them here on the discussion board or email them to me.

Hey Jeremy - This board has been a litte slow lately. There is a huge need for emphasis on exercise in this community. It should be like brushing teeth!! Love to see that you are getting this going. What I have found with many pre and new ops is that they just don't know where to start. I'd like to see you do a series on beginner workouts or "getting started with a fitness routine after wls." If you need some assistance with articles let me know. I've been around the gym industry for a few years. Husband is a personal trainer and I plan to work on a few certifications as well. My latest passion is spinning. Also did a WLS seminar with a physical therapist/cardiac care specialist recently. She gave some great ideas on simple resistance training (using body weight, milk jugs, etc) for newer op patients or people that have never done an exercise program.
Hey Jeremy I can't understand why the cycling board has not taken off. I suspect that many folks don't even know that it exists! Need to make it more visual or perhaps a physical fitness room with bodybuilding and cycling or any other physical activity attached. Physical fitness it the main goal for all of us! Think...VISUAL TO ALL!
Thanks
