Hey I am 10 months out now. A few weeks ago I started the "new rules of lifting for women". I was also following the C25K program, but I put it on hold until I got into a groove with the lifting. I currently lift 3x a week and jog when I feel like it (so about once a week lol). The lifting takes about 40 minutes a day, the jogging 40 as well (with warm up/cool down).

I started because my weight loss slowed significantly and I was just feel blah and weak. Prior to these I didn't do "official" exercise, but I was walking all the time (I was in NY, NY! for a few months) and stairs, etc. I was a nanny to a newborn so I was also lifting all the baby things and taking care of the house. It was tiresome!!

I'm 3 weeks out, was given the all clear to submerge last week and have been swimming (breaststroke) for 30 minutes every day. I plan to add 5 minutes every week until I am up to an hour. I have been walking on the odd day but far prefer swimming, it burns heaps of calories and works my triceps and tum which are two areas I am worried about. Once I am used to this regime I may change it up to something else, but for now I'm loving it.

Four months out and started exercising one month post-surgery. I am at the gym an average of 4x per week. I take a 60-minute water aerobics class on Mondays and Wednesdays, the other days I get in 60-65 minutes on the elliptical, plus try to get 30 minutes of strength training in at least twice a week.

I'm four years out, and just recently revamped my exercise routine. I moved into an apartment community with a great workout room, and it's also right on over 20 miles worth of walking trails. I do strength training 20 minutes at a time 4 days a week. I walk nearly every day, from 1/2 mile to a mile or more, though I'm trying to ramp it up to more. Also doing more fun activities that get me moving. Tomorrow, going to play disc golf with friends - on an 18 basket course, that's a good amount of walking, and my shoulder will be sore from throwing
