Day 366 Post-Op

Thanks for the suggestion.  I think the "sporting" aspect of my activities are currently where swing dancing is slotted.  Social, intense activity with breaks.  When I say I'm looking to up my cardio, I'm really talking about pure cardio like spin, where I sustain a 150-170 heart-rate for an hour, or cycling, where I sustain 145-155 for two hours.  That's just pure calorie burn. I agree there's a limit to the amount of that kind of activity that's sustainable.  I'm looking at once or twice a week, which I've managed to do two weeks in a row now: an hour of weight-lifting followed by an hour spin class. Sustained cardio was such and important part of my losing weight!  And I did it when I weighed 300+ lbs, guys!

John,  Congratulations first of all. You know I tried those spinning classes and man they made me so freaking dizzy I'd hurl before the class would end.  No more spinning for me! BobM.

Stop it! :-)  You'll confuse the uninitiated! Don't listen to him guys!  Spin = teacher led stationary biking to music

Congratulations!  You have really come a long way.

The congratulations have been overwhelming.  Thanks for all the support over the year, everyone!
