If you think that you just don’t have time to fit in a workout, think again. Give your thoughts on fitness a new look, and you can make the time, amid your busy schedule. Rethink exercise as something that you can fit into your existing schedule rather than something you have to do at a certain time and place. For busy people, there are a few strategies you can take up that will get you on the way.

- Wear a pedometer. This little electronic device keeps track of your every move, and will really motivate you to take the stairs or avoid the short-cut. When you can actually see how many steps you take in a day, you may find that you are more motivated to go the extra mile…literally. Seeing the progress in black and white, knowing that you are getting exercise into your day, with out even trying sometimes, can really be mood-lifting and will push you to take even more steps the following day!

- Find a work out partner. Find a friend or colleague that shares your same fitness and health goals, and make a pact. Walk to lunch from the office together. Make a date 3 times a week to go walking or biking or jogging. Instead of sitting and gossiping during your 15 minute break, take a few laps around the parking lot. Make them keep you accountable, and vice versa.

- Take the long way. Instead of emailing your co-worker in the cubicle down the hall, talk over there to have your conversation. Or instead of taking the escalator or elevator at the mall, take the stairs. And instead of cruising the parking lot looking for the closest space, park as far away as you can. Be thankful that you have legs that work, and you aren’t confined to a wheelchair!

- Suggest “walking meetings”. You are able to walk and talk at the same time, right? See if you and your boss can go over the new clients ideas while walking the parking lot. Or catch up with old friends over a walk around the park, instead of over dinner and drinks. Enjoying the scenery will give you a lift, and even inspire a few new ideas.

- Play with your kids. Children have seemingly endless energy, so let it rub off on you! Take your kids, or your niece and nephew, or your friend’s kids, to the park and run around with them. Go to the beach and play in the surf, just trying to stand up and not get knocked over by the waves takes energy, and burns calories. You have to spend time with your family and friends anyway, so make it an active date.

- Schedule your workouts wisely. If you know you have to get to work by 8, don’t schedule the 7am workout. You know you will not be able to get a full workout in and get to the office in an hours time, so get up earlier and take the 6am slot. Or schedule your workouts after work so that you can stay as long as you like. Don’t sell yourself short on workouts, because you are only cheating yourself. Use your time wisely.

Any calories that we absorb and are unable to burn will turn into fat, the principle of losing weight is that we need to burn my calories than we intake, we need to diet as well as look at exercise after Gastric Banding Surgery to increase the calories we burn.

We need not join a gym straight after we finish our gastric banding surgery, we only need to start exercising very gently as not to damage your joints and muscles. However, as your excess weight comes off, physical exercise will become easier and you will also have a lot more energy and natural desire to be more active. You ultimate goal should be to take 30 minutes’ exercise per day. Start with small steps and short term goals and build on it from there.

When considering your exercise after you completed your gastric banding, it will be important to choose activities you like and which you will enjoy doing (swimming, walking, cycling etc.). Start slowly and gradually increase the pace of the exercise and the duration you are doing it.

For those who have had gastric banding and are not used to taking much exercise, walking is the best exercise of all and you may find it useful to purchase a pedometer or stepometer, which measures the distance you walk each day. The aim is to walk at least 10,000 steps per day, Sounds alt right? but this is the average person will be approximate five miles distance. The reason for using the pedometer for exercise is it will feedback if your under your required distance throughout the day, so you be able to adjust as the day goes by.

Here’s a list of simple activities that you can take in your normal routine:

When you only have a short distance to go, try walking or cycling rather than using the car. Get off the bus one stop before your destination and walk the rest. Do not use remote control for your TV, music system, etc. (take the batteries out if needs be!) – get up out of your chair to do it instead. Get yourself a dog or offer to take a neighbours dog for a walk each day Use the stairs rather than using the lift or escalator. Walk to the shop for you newspaper or milk rather than having it delivered. Don’t stockpile things at the bottom of the stairs to take up with you in the evening, gup and down the stairs in your home as often as possible during the day Get a Swiss ball (also called a ‘Fitball’) and sit on it when you use the telephone – keeping your balance will help to tone your bottom, tummy and thigh muscles! Exercise whether its after gastric banding surgery or not is good for both body and soul. Your joints will become firmer and more flexible, your muscles become stronger, your lungs are better able to take in oxygen, your circulation is stimulated and your digestive system works better. Exercise will also stimulates a feeling of well-being, you will feel less tired and weak, less stressed, more alert and you will have a sense of being in control of things.

You will realise that exercise after Gastric Banding Surgery will change your life for ever
