Gym Is Open (Tuesday)

Hi Guys! I'm back! I had a great time in Sweden! I'm very glad to be home, except my job is freaking me out as usual with stress. I think it is hard when I get away from this place and then come back, it seems like such a rude awakening. I like my job for the most part, there are parts of it that are hard. But, I couldn't afford trips to Sweden if I didn't have a job like this, so I guess I just need to suck it up! I did go to the gym this morning. I got about 1/2 as much exercise in Sweden then I thought I would. I had an early meeting so only had 45 mins at the gym. I did 20 minutes on the recumbant bike and 20 mins of lower body strengthening. What did you do to move your body today? Lori

Welcome back Lori, Well I did the usual i was in the gym around 5 am and left around 6:45 ish did the normal elliptical trainer 35 and 35 in between I did weights I am loving what is is doing for my body. Have a great day everyone. Lorraine

Lorraine, It is so wonderful you are seeing results. Took me about a year.... Lori

Hi Lori Welcome home! I'm glad you had a nice vacation:smile: Well I haven't made it to the gym.....yet that is. I have this small set of peddels that I can sit in front of me and I've been working on them every other day 3 times a day for 5 to 6 minutes each. Since I was so immobile before my surgery my doctor told me to start out slow and build myself up. Once my incision completely heals I want to start doing some aquasize classes. Wish me luck. Take Care Theresa

Theresa, Follow the doctor's orders. You need to focus on healing. You have a lifetime for exercise. I think I was 10 weeks out before I started walking and 18 weeks out before I started any weight training. And I had a lap procedure with no complications! Lori

I walked a mile yesterday at the park with the dogs. . And did twenty minuetes on the treadmill last night.

good for you Marie!
