Hi

Well done on joining the gym and I hope you are enjoying it!

People will burn calories at different rates depending on their weight and activity levels so try not to compare.

Does your gym do your programme for you or are you going it alone?

I found newly post op walking on the treadmill and swimming were the best for me and helped build my fitness levels back up. Now I tend to stick more to classes - spinning is my favourite and an average person can burn upto 700 cals a class!
