Hiya Sal, I try to go to the gym once daily 30mins on the cross trainer and 30mins on the treadmill (setting 5kph) thats fast walk. I dont like coming out in the cold so swimming is out of the question at these bitter months LOL . and if I feel like it I go on my wii fit plus and do an hour of step cause you can carry on watching t.v whilst its counting the steps Good Eh!

Little and often is the key.

Hi Candie,
Not gonna be post-op for months/years!
but it's always good/inspiring to read what others are doing-
would be nice if it stopped raining - then our doggies could have more walks!

Hiya

would say that I do the gym every other day(roughly), and do at least an hour. One day I will do all cv, i.e treadmill, crosstrainer, stepper, wave and exercise bike. The next session, I will do a 10 minute warmup on a piece of cv equipment, and then do weight, swiss ball exercises and situps. I also do the situps on the CV days. I am hoping to start swimming again, but have had some very extreme ear infections after swimming, last one landing me at the ENT clinic every other day to have a wick removed and a new one put in for about 10 days...so annoying. I have bought new earplugs from the states though, so am hoping that they will do the trick.
