Daily Post--1/15/08

I'm bad. I usually only exercise once a week It's usually toning... free weights, lunges, pushups, etc.

I am shamed by all the great workouts you guys do! I walk every day, and try to workout on my Bean at least four or five times a week - depends on my Partylite schedule, quite honestly... I do a Yoga class once a week... Early out, I justified the "no formal exercise" by saying that I was much more active than prior to WLS, so that should count... it really doesn't. My stalls were much less frequent and lasted fewer days when I began actively exercising, and after a couple of weeks, I actually enjoyed myself. Now, I miss my walks when I'm too busy to break, and I really do feel more energetic when I've done a formal workout! Yes, I still count my weekly trips to Disneyland as exercise, but I try to get real workouts in, too! Hope you got home safely, Lea!

In the past six months I have found I really enjoy exercising. My regimen includes cardio (30 min.) 6-7 times a week, weight training 3-4 times a week, and pilates 2 times a week. After I drop another 40lbs or so I will probably get a personal trainer to help me firm up what I can. I subscribed to 2 fitness magazines and have been gaining lots of great tips and advice from them!

I try for 5 days per week of exercise...typically 45-60 minutes of cardio (running on the treadmill or outside at 5mph for 40 minutes along with 10-15 minutes of warm up/cool down, elliptical). I know I need to get going on strength training, but it's not an area of comfort in terms of the machines/free weights. I have taken a muscle conditioning class a couple of times a week, but really didn't like it--that said, I know it's critical to build muscle. I was thinking of working with a personal trainer for a couple of sessions to learn techniques. Christy

I need to focus more on my cardio and have more structure in my workouts. I generally just climb stairs at work. Lots and lots of stairs but its getting easier and easier. I need some more intensity. I guess it averages about every other day that I do something.

I walk most days at least for 30 minutes, but as far as real exercise I am a slacker!

I try to exercise 3 days a week min right now...usually videos

I do cardio 7 days a week, and am hoping to be cleared for more exercise at the end of the month when I see my surgeon again.

I exercise in some for 4 times per week. Mostly cardio with a litte toning thrown in.

I exercise every day. Everyother day is running on the treadmill, but every day I do my strength training as outlined by a personal trainer and it is a four day rotation.
