Cardio RoCks!!
Just had to share that for a year now I have been doin cardio as the exercise of choice post-op. At 5 weeks post-op I decided to get out the house and make my way to the local college in my neighborhood where they have AWESOME, well lite walking trails. I begin walking 7 days a week, after work in the evenings and after church services on Sunday...I TRULY found something I LOVE. On August 3, 2010 I was a year out and STILL going to the same walking trails except for NOW I consider it my RUNNING trail. I have increased the pace of walkin and have included jogging. I tell friends all the time...it's FREE, the fresh air is great and it stimulates both MIND & BODY.
If you're wondering what form of exercise to go with post-op...I would suggest start with walking, find a safe place YOU would go back to and as you go challenge yourself to pick up the pace and eventually do some light jogging..it's rewarding and promises to help shed MORE pounds!
