37. Well, I joke that it's like AA

Hello, my name is eggplant... (hello, eggplant...) I love bacon.

But seriously, it is RN monitored and managed gym workouts. Every session, they assess your situation, connect you to wireless telemetry, and give you a personal workout regimen. I think my first day it was something like three minutes on a treadmill going 2mph, then take a break, then a few minutes on a stationary cycle at some speed, then a few minutes on a handbike, etc.

After, they check your BP and then do stretching exercises. Each day, you rate how hard each portion was and when it isn't very hard, they crank that one up. They switch around stations too. Sometimes on a rower, or a nautilus, etc.

While you are working out, they are able to keep an eye on how you look as well as your telemetry. If they are concerned, they make you stop and sit.

Since I am diabetic as well, they require you to test before and after your workout to keep your numbers in order.

I did it three times a week for six months at the local one (that coincidentally is one of the top five in the country -- go figure).
