Lap Bands, Exercise and Nordic Walking

Wow, have a I gotten a huge response to the exercise post. I know most of us hate exercising – and I’m sympathetic from the get go. But as Dr. Lee said directly in the interview, his lap band patients who do exercise lost between 6 and 9 pounds more per month than his patients who didn’t exercise. For many of us, that’s the difference between getting to our goal weight in a year or getting to our goal weight in two years.

Pete Edwards of SkiWalking.com sent me a couple articles about Nordic Walking which I’m going to put on a separate page and link including one by Dr. Christine Northrup. I think Nordic Walking is perfect for people who are obese because the poles increase stability, provide more calorie burning and help protect your joints against wear and tear – in other words, less pain. You’ll lose weight faster than walking without the poles, you’ll be safer from falls and stumbles and you’ll hurt less. What could be better than that? In addition, he’s offered any of my readers free shipping on a set of Nordic Walking Poles. If you decide to order a set of Nordic Poles from him, use shipping code PE49636. Good deal, huh?

I have one more post to make on exercise for the day and then I will return to the subject of insurance which all of my readers seem to find really interesting. You guys…..
