Ideas for pre op exercise program???
Hey y'all. My surgery will not be until March/April ( insurance waiting period, LOL). But I want to make some positive changes now. I joined a great, no-frills gym (Fitness for $10). But I have no idea what to do once I get there. I have just been getting on the treadmill for 60 mins. I am thinking about just building up my endurance, then my speed. But I know I need to be doing weights/resistance training or something. I want to get a handle on my "bat wings". Any advice???
My advice is hire a trainer for a few sessions so they can make a plan for you. Yes, you should mix cardio and strengh training-and I'll tell you this....I did that for 6 months before my surgery and it made the recovery a breeze! You are definitely doing the right thing!
The key to weight training is to ensure good form. You don't need to do a bunch of reps....it is better to work toward higher weight, less reps and excellent form.
I lost 175 lbs and have not had plastics. Granted, I do have extra skin, but it looks so much better with good muscles underneath!
Best wishes on your journey!
