What exercise are you doing today?
This is a great thread! I am one week out after a hernia repair surgery; been told by my surgeon that I shouldn't run for 6-8 weeks - Yikes!!! My only other exercise was circuit training, which is out until my abs are all healed - so I'm looking for some good suggestions to keep active. It's really easy to slip back into being sedentary, especially because I'm still sore & slow. So far today, just a short walk around the block.
Well I gotta admit.. This thread made me jealous reading all these fabulous outgoing exercises. I've been struggling with the "If I exercise, it's gonna hurt more and I already hurt to start with " vs the "if I take pain pills I won't be able to feel my limits when I exercise and i could hurt myself more".
The result is no activity.....and I'm still losing despite myself.. Slowly
So while I was having physio, we discussed "aquafit on drugs" as a possibility of exercise.
1. If I take pain medication, and do fall asleep, someone is likely to drag me out of the pool, if for no other reason than I'm in their way (I'm hoping)
2. Least impact on my joints and theoretically, the warm water should soothe my crunchy bits.
3. Help me get my metabolism mojo stimulated again and maybe my body will want to drop a couple more pounds..or not lol
Thanks Mon.. ya did it!!.. lol maybe lol
Loving this thread too as I am not too motivated right now either. This foot pain eliminates my 'dreadmill' which is what I was planning on for burning calories but now what? I was thinking about going back to Curves but that is as far as I got...thinking. My sedentary lifestyle got me into this so I am asking for help on suggestions for workout dvd's for home. And Monica did you really post this at 5:40 a.m.???? OMG and this is your day off right?
