Gym Is Open (Wednesday)

Well I went to the gym this morning and and did 55 min on elliptical and 8 min on the treadmill. I think I will start doing the treadmill first for at least 15 min and then the elliptical for atleast 50 min. My goal is to be in the gym for atleast 1 1/2 to 2 hours 4 to 5 days per week. Glad to hear your feeling better. Lorraine

Lorraine, I may have asked you this before, but, are you also doing strength training? My trainer says that instead of adding more aerobic time I need to do at least 1/2 strength training time to build lean muscle and to bring up my metabolism. Lori

Yes Lori you have have told me a couple of time. I am just so hooked on aerbic workout I forget to do the strength training. Since you said something again I will start my strength training tomorrow.

Lori, I'm glad you are starting to feel better - hopefully you'll be fully recovered soon and back to your normal routine. I did 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer after work Wednesday. It felt good to move and sweat. Kellie

I was pressed for time, but I did a 30 cardio dance class "Firm It Up".

So glad to hear you are feeling better. Knock on wood, I haven't had a really bad illness since WLS. I did my usual. 1 hour on the elliptical last night. The crew went to the gym together. Husband, daughter and me. It's really good to use the family for motivation. A family that works out together, stays healthy together and together longer. Again, glad your feeling better. Hope your 100% soon. Sandy 357/185/165
