Do you workout? Oh yea
When did you start working out consistently? Post-op day 4
What is your workout?M, T, TH, F: 5 min cardio, 30 min resistance, upper body one day, lower body next day the 10 min abs and 15-20 min cardio again. W, Sat - 60 min cardio, Sunday - Cardio or off or training.
How often do you workout? 6-7 days a week
How long do your workouts last? Just an hour, maybe hour 10 min
How often do you change your routine? I Change a bit every couple of months, take a week off resistance training or go to some of the classes at my gym for a change
What do you use as motivation to keep working out? Fear of gaining back the weight, goal of running a 10K in April, enjoyment of all my new friends there
Do you struggle to be consistent, or does it come easily now? I don't think about it, I don't evaluate motivation, I just go - auto pilot. Not usually easy, but no struggle either, if that makes any sense.
Working out is what proves to me that I have changed my life forever. I will never go back to the person I was pre-op. My new friends invite me to run and snow shoe and do abs together, not to lunch. Very different.
