only weightlifting



Recommended Posts

This topic may have been addressed here already but I couldn't find it. Due to my knees and now a foot condition' date=' the treadmill and bike are too painful. Do youthink it is possible to get an all over workout with just lifting weights? Will circuit training do the job? I think I may also be motivated to workout if I stick to lifting. I was getting bored with the bike so avoiding the gym. Now my foot is acting up. My work involves being on my feet on cement floors for 8 hours which may have some impact on my motivation to jump on the bike or treadmill.[/quote']

Did you consider swimming in addition to the weight lifting?

If you were a hot chick I'd send you one.

I had it made at cafepress.com

They custom make t shirts and they do single shirts.

I seldom do cardio anymore. I do weight lifting 3-5 days a week. It is what is going to shape my body the way I want it to be. And' date=' as Fiddleman mentioned already, I eat based on my TDEE less a 10% deficit. Right now, that has me at about 1650 calories a day. When I lift weights, I increase my caloric intake, mainly through high Protein foods. It took me close to twelve weeks to reset my metabolism, and it was completely worth it.

That's it too... Sculpting is going to come from weight training. Whatever gets you in the gym working your body, DO IT!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
