Exercise Anybody?

[MsKami77]

I started my exercising prior to surgery but it only consisted of walking and Zumba classes. Now that I've lost 100 pounds, I want to do more. I still walk and Zumba but now I'm exploring more classes at my local YMCA. I met with a trainer today to work on my weak areas (arms, core and inner thighs). I'm just curious about what others are doing for exercise and how you keep it interesting.

Congratulations on your fantastic weight loss. I go to the gym and I don't get bored because I always listen to an audiobook. It seems to make the time go by fast.

Do you lift weights at the gym? What's your routine? I just started working with a trainer to help with my trouble spots. My cardio workout is good but I really need to firm up.

I do 30 min of cardio (treadmill or reclining bike) and 45 min on the weight machines, 3 times a week. I've been thinking about a personal trainer to help me work on upper body strength.

I do water aerobics 3 times a week for 2 hour per session. I have to be careful with weights because I have had 6 spinal surgeries. My biggest nemesis is I also have Addison disease and will be on steroids for the rest of my life. My support system needs educated and I am showing them the articles that I can find. Living on a tight budget has caused me to go two weeks with out high protein drinks / food. But, from here on out this shouldn't be a problem.
