Exercise Question

What you are saying is making sense. I am not a exercise nut so I will take your advice. I will try 3 days a week to begin with and work my way up to 5 days or even switch out with other things on the days that I'm not working out at home. I tried Zumba once and I really enjoyed it. It's only on Monday nights though.

I go to Zumba on Monday nights also.  I love it.  There are even dance programs on TV and you can get dance games for Wii and other game systems.  That is great exercise.

Go to Sparkpeople.com.  It is a free website and they have an activity section.  They have tons of workouts you can do at home without buying expensive equipment.  Anything from cardio to core exercises, strengthening,etc.  You can set it to have them send you the exercise of the day.

It is fun!!

ok, I will try it. Thanks

I just wanted to offer another exercise suggestion.  I really like to dance, and even before I had surgery I would go to line dance class at my local YMCA once a week.  I don't mean country line dancing.  I'm talking about R&B/Soul line dancing.
Anyway, after surgery, when I started losing weight, I ramped up my line dancing.  Found classes throughout the city (Philadelphia).  Then, about 9 months post-surgery I started doing Zumba, which is another type of dance exercise.  Only now (about 14 months post-op) am I getting into other things at the gym (elliptical, treadmill, arc trainer, etc.)  I really like those new things now, but it just wasn't that way in the beginning.  I had to start with something that I would enjoy.  So definitely look for something that you can have fun doing.  That makes all the difference in your success.

Those are great suggestions. I did love Zumba. I have the Wii and I have another video that me and my daughter have used occasionally. It's just not enough room in the living room to do it. I will keep trying things as long as I keep moving. I appreciate all of the support.
