Topic: New to this board
Hello all.....Wanted to pop in and say hi! I didn't know this message board exsisted. I'm glad I've found it because I've become happily obsessed with working out and becoming physically fit! I work out to the equivalent of 7 days a week. My schedule is generally Weights on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday; cardio on Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs and Sat. I'm working on becoming a group fitness leader - infact I take my certification test on the 16th
I just wanted to take a moment to say hi and see how everyone was doing on this board!!!!
Stay Healthy!

Val, not good. I would never have thought of niacin! I guess I have alot more research to do.
Is it like an allergic reaction? Is it something that everyone should watch out for? Or is it just certain people? I am alergic to latex. I did CPR on Annie(the doll) and my lips swelled up past my nose. My neighbor told me I looked like a blow up doll. Lucky me! I gave myself an epipen in the thigh and went to the emergency room. Not nice.

I resally thought my doc would tell me to wait for 6 weeks, I have been walking at the mall as well as outside..if only the weather would cooperate. My job also allows me to walk during the day so that helps. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day!

I was in Nashville a few weeks ago. I should have called you for coffee or a workout. I will be down there next month. I will let you know when. Maybe we can go to the gym together.

I am with Earl. Take it easy for 6 weeks then slowly ease into it. I waited three months to join a gym.....but I walked my ass off the first 90 days. I did stairs at the mall. Stairs really got me in shape and ready for the gym.

Tammy, I did stress test prior to surgery. They were surprised how good my fat heart reacted to their torture test. They tried to kill me on the treadmill and failed.....lol...good luck
