That is a great way to put it. Activity. My husband bought me a Fitbit Blaze for Christmas. I am using it already. Thanks so much.

hi everyone,
im starting strength training, and I'm looking for an app that lets me build my own routine (or modify theirs). I'd like one that includes free weights and gym equipment, not just body exercises.
ideally, one that lets me track my reps and weights etc.
it doesn't have to be free, but free is always nice!
Swork is great, but doesn't include weights.
Nike training is beautiful, but I can't seem to modify the workouts?
any recommendations would be awesome!
thanks

Words have specific meanings for people. Stop thinking about exercise. It clearly has unpleasant connotations for you. Think about increasing activity instead.
If you like walking, walk more. I have a Fitbit, and it help me a lot. It counts steps, and it keeps track of how many minutes I am active each day. Staying active for 5 hours each day is much more beneficial than working hard at the gym for an hour, then sitting on your butt the rest of the day.
Be active. Walk. Take stairs instwad of elevators. Park farther away from stores, and walk extra aisles. Everything counts.
Do what you can, and as you get in better shape, challenge yourself to do a little more.

I've found that most people who hate exercise just haven't found the right exercise.
Are you seeing a physical therapist for your knee? I'd recommend that and getting advice about ALL the exercises you can try. Then.. try them all :)

I remember how I felt going to the gym the first time PO. I was so self conscious but I kept at it. The 16th January 2017 will be one year that I've be going to my gym and I recently had a fellow gym member tell me that I inspired her to keep at it. I was so afraid of the negative things that ppl would be thinking that I did not realize there was a flip side, I also encouraged others like me. All that to say, maybe there will be others watching but not in the light that you see it. Own it and keep going!!!

I appreciate your suggestions and support. I already feel better just blurting it out. I will be checking into observing a class or two that I am interested in. I will also be working on "owning it". Thanks to all those commenting and I so appreciate having this site for support.

I hate to be that guy, but I feel like if you want to be successful, you need to change your attitude towards exercise. So many studies indicate that physical activity is key in maintaining weightloss (I know, there are always exceptions). It has to become part of your life, like brushing your teeth, or grocery shopping and cooking.
If walking is fine, build on that. If you find it boring, Listen to a podcast or music or audiobook. Podcasts are my lifesaver.
You can't be expected to like everything you try, but what's important is to find something fun. I tried team sports for a long time. I finally accepted that they aren't my thing. So I took swimming lessons. And joined a Y. Today I'm trying a group strength class for the first time. I also progressed from walking to running intervals. Slowly. I call it wogging. And I love yoga.
When you're starting out, it can be hard to see the pleasure, but once you start improving, you'll want to keep going because it is so validating.
Try making a list of things you might like to try. You don't have to stick to one thing.
good luck!

Hi All-
I am a newbie. Had my first consult with my surgeon yesterday. Because of my insurance, my WLS will not be for at least six months. I HATE exercise. Walking I am okay with. A little weight lifting that is okay too. I have a recently torn meniscus so I am limited as to what I can do. But I feel I have to do something. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
