I have always been interested in exercise and tried to stay on a regular routine. I used to do Taebo a lot. There is also a 30 Day 6 Pack Abs Workout on YouTube on hte BeFiT channel that I have enjoyed doing. Sometimes I get off the bandwagon and try to get myself back on track. Thankfully I do have an office/workout room that has a treadmill, elliptical, and Bowflex Selecttech dumbell weights and weight bench. For the longest time after getting sick I really didn't feel like I had the strength to workout. Finally, I recently feel like I have energy and drive to start weight training again. I have started lifting some weights. And as for cardio I recently started doing HIIT (high intensity interval training) on the treadmill. Look up Barbara O'Neil HIIT on youtube and she explains the benefits for skin and time needed. You can get a great workout in 12-16 minutes and the benefits will last. She says your body will release human growth hormone during the HIIT and will remain active for 24 hours. You basically run for your life at a high incline, (she recommends finding a hill outside if you don't have a treadmill) for 30 seconds, then rest (walk slow downhill or no incline) for 90 seconds and repeat this cycle 6-8 times. She said you can do it with many different exercises. For example, she says swim for your life (as fast as you can) for 30 seconds, then rest for 90 seconds, and repeat the cycle 6 times. You can use the elliptical, go cycling, etc. I am going to continue to try this so I can get a high intensity, high impact workout in a short amount of time. I am waiting to see how it affects my hunger/carb intake and I'll keep you posted. I too, have been worried about losing too much weight, as has happened to me with this ailment, but finally just decided whatever happens, happens. As long as I'm healthy, getting exercise, and eating food that's good for me, hopefully my body will settle on a weight that isn't too low. I hope that helps. Good luck on your exercise routine. I hope you are continuing to see improvement as well. Dale | |||
