Hey Beginners -- what are you doing for exercise?
I saw Keith's post about beginning exercise, and I think that's a great idea!
I know I am the exercise hater of all time, so I thought I'd post my schedule. It's not much, but its a start! C'mon, join me! Hopefully, I can build on this as my strength increases (LOL, and my injuries decrease!).
Monday - Gym (exercise plan set up by trainer)
Tuesday - Couch to 5K workout with my Bariatric Boot Camp buddies
Wednesday - Dance (Tango and Rumba for Sept-Oct)
Thursday - Physical Therapy, then Gym, depending on what happens at PT
Friday -- Gym or Dance
Saturday - Bariatric Boot Camp class
What are the rest of you all doing?

Sounds like a fun workout schedule!!! I am trying once again to start up some type of physical activity. Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I don't have alot of time so I can get it done in 27 minutes. I'm so sore from all the squatting, I need to raise myself out of my chair with both hands!!!

WWBD?
Those squats are great for us, but I can't go very low -- my knees give out! I still do them with a low bench behind me, so in case I go down, I don't hit the floor! The stats show that people who exercise are way more successful keeping the weight off, so that motivates me when I ask myself what I was thinking!
Keep up the great work!

LOL -- "Knowing it" still doesn't make me like it! I was hoping for a transfer addiction -- you know finding comfort from exercise instead of food, but so far, it hasn't happened! I think those endorphins that are supposed to get all worked up when you exercise are just confused!

I try to mix up strength/cardio so my body doesn't get used to a pattern.
Impressive! There is a big hill where I sometimes go walk the Mutt - and I go up it backwards (on the sidewalk!). I've found that backwards on the hill is easier on my knees and it works a different muscle in my thighs! Plus, the Mutt can help tow me up the hill!
