One year post op appointment today. Need to do strengthening exercises. Ideas?? Need some ideas of things that have worked for you. Thanks!!

Get a weight bench and free weights, along with some dumbbells + an exercise bike. Another option is using flex bands. You don't need to take time to travel to a gym or pay for a membership.

Body weight exercises, push-ups, crunches, bicycle crunches, lunges, burbees, do a goggle search for "body weight" exercises and you'll find several differnt ways to modify them based on your level of fitness. Try walking / jogging, walk for a bit then jog for a few blocks, each week try to do a little more.

Wishing you much success on your journey.

I need to build muscle under my skin, I see my skin getting flabby after 50 lbs weight loss and want to put something under there!

If you're a beginner at weight training and can afford it, definitely get a gym membership and personal trainer. I swear by mine! Also, you can hurt yourself lifting if you're not sure of what you are doing. I promise it's worth it!

Planks! High intensity interval training, body weight exercises,... I'm partial to Burn the Fat, Feed The Muscle
