Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Hi Lizbeth- I was told by Dr. herron after my first month visdit that I could do anything except tackle football. I started slowly with treadmill and some light weights and now I am doing heavy duty exercise- lots of weights and resistance and arobics and about 4 times a wekk for 11/2 hours at a time. the key is to find what you like to do. I love these classes and it keeps me going. Whwen I just have about 40 pounds to lose I am going to get a personal triner to whip me into better shape. You will be able to do it all--just start slowly. Ellen(Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Hey Ellen)Pam Conventinal Wisdom the message board seems to be about a 4 week waiting period. I was actually considering getting a personal trainer but maybe I will hold off on that until I am further out and better able to deal with a full exercise program. I have to say that from the response I have recieved most people excercise on average of 4 times a week. You guys are truley a healthy bunch I hope I am that motivated and hard working!
