Exercise Log for 300's +
I am curious to know what types of exercise people do and how often. I am hoping you will share and maybe even log here.
I go to aqua fitness twice a week. I want to incorporate more types of exercise. I have a torn rotator cuff and arthritis in my knees. I am 46. :carrot: |
I am 28 and I do elliptical (for 15 minutes) and either spin bike or recumbent bike (30 minutes) 3 days a week. I do swimming on T/Th. And I walk on Sat/Sun.
A friend of mine is in a very similar situation (torn rotator cuff, leg problems, and she's in her 40's too) she does the elliptical (cause it's easy on her knees) and swimming, as well! |
I'm 29, and I do 30 minutes of walking/jogging intervals 5-6 days a week. If I'm feeling tired, I just walk, but I find the interval training kind of invigorating and gets me sweating.
Just started that about 12 days ago (used to do just walking) and I love it. |
Hey I'm new today to this but let me tell you congratulations on starting a healthier lifestyle! !! I started at 350lbs and I'm down almost 100lbs. In less than 6 months. It has not been as hard as I thought it would be but we all have our own definitions of what hard work is lol. In my opinion I think 2 days a week is not enough time spent working out. I'd say 4 or 5 at least with more cardio and less fat and calorie intake. You are going to do fine I suggest taking it up a notch if you want quicker results :-) I did it from home with no pills gym DVD work outs or even weights! You got this good luck

Exercise is super important!! I am a slacker in that dept. We have a sticky at the top of the forum to track exercise minutes. Please log your minutes there. You will also be able to read what kind of exercise people are doing.

I try and get three 30 minute walks in during the week as well. |
Right now I am just walking. Did a 1/2 mile Thursday, 3/4 mile this morning, and another 1/4 mile this evening.

this is a really nice thread. At the moment doing about three to four days a week but would like to make it six days a week. i do one hour workouts of either swimming, treadmill on incline or the arc trainer
|
I had been doing the exercise bike randomly but starting today I am shooting for 5/6 days a week. I am going to start out at 30 minutes at a time and then add to that.

I am super new at all of this. I started really working hard just a couple of weeks ago. I am sick of being the fat friend. I am very blessed that I have a gym at work I can use that offers different classes throughout the week at peak time like lunch break and after work. Before each class I try to do about 15 min of cardio. On Mondays I do a strech class. Tuesday and Thursday I have been doing Core Strenght at lunch and Zumba after work for about and hour. On Wednesdays and Fridays I am doing Yoga at lunch. Sat and Sunday I clean the house do laundry and take care of my 4 and 3 year old. I have been really working hard the last month. I would tell anyone to try whatever you can. Try videos, try dancing make up your own workout. Just try to have fun. If you do a class give it a couple of times before you don't go back. You might feel out of place I did and still do god knows I hate those mirrors. I question how I got here, how did I get this big all the time. I am sick of being the fat friend. Time to do something.

I've been doing treadmill and water aerobics at home but today I joined the Y for that extra edge, especially so I have no excuse not to work out when the weather turns cooler in the fall. I can't wait to try the zumba class! There is also spinning classes, pilates, etc. I'm going to try lots of classes to see what I like and what I don't.

Hi Plucky pear.
I started 3 months ago struggling to walk the short distance to my son's school ( about 1/4 mile). I have arthritis in my knees and am very limited as to what meds I can take as I have asthma too. I spoke to my practice nurse and we agreed that in the short term taking pain killers to exercise had to be better for me than all the weight I am carrying so that's how I manage it. I now walk 2.5 miles a day at a fairly brisk pace and swim 1 or 2 times a week 32 or 64 lengths depending on how energetic I feel! I would also say that some minutes is better than no minutes so a 10 min walk around the block still counts. I also use a walking/trekking pole to lean on to give my knees a bit of help. I now they are designed for mountain walking but who cares! |
