Working out with the flab

Hello!

I am over a year out from my Gastric Sleeve surgery. I've recently been entertaining the idea of joining a kickboxing class. I've got a lot of "flab" on my thighs, arms, stomach, and back....or I guess that's just about everywhere! I'll take the flab over the weight any day. I need to buy some comfortable yet appropriate workout clothing for such a strenuous workout. Since I'll be swinging my arms and thighs around, I think it will definitely hinder my performance and also look very scary lol.

Does anyone have any suggestions? What do you wear? What have you heard of. Also...I can't spend too much.

Thanks!!!

I haven't tried kickboxing yet, but it sounds fun!! I am one year post op too and I have also have a jiggly stomach. I wear a shape wear tank top under my workout shirt. It seems to keep everything tight and minimizes my jiggling.

Good luck with your workout!!

Hey thanks for the reply! Yeah it definitely seems like a hard workout but I've heard because it's fun, people go back. A real fat burner too!

Cool! Thanks! I guess my main concern though are my very large, flabby arms. I imagine I will be very uncomfortable physically. I plan on wearing a tank top, as I sweat like a pig.
