Thread mill; 30 mins Elliptical Trainer; 30 mins Stationary bike. Feel so good afterward... :) Once you starts, it hard not to go. It becomes a part of life. Stay motivated.

I'm a Type 2...no insulin just diet and medication. I'm also a member of Planet Fitness. Watching your carbs intake will help a lot. You can do it...just focus.

I have a Fitbit that I use to monitor my steps and miles. I love to walk. So can I start now and post my results tomorrow? Please reply. Thanks

I'm new to the community. I just recently retired from LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

I usually get around 6 to 8 hours of sleep. Excercising helps a lot.
