When did you start lifting?



Recommended Posts

I'm in a 15lb lifting restriction until jan 11. Just curious how everyone started out lifting? After the restriction is cleared just jump right in? Or should I start out light on machines? Walking and doing pool stuff now just ready to get back to lifting.

I personally took my time and started off with light stuff and walking. You had major surgery and you will have been down a few weeks. Just my opinion but best to start off slow

I started out light and progressed from there. I also increased the intensity of my cardio.

I started walking for around 30 mins a few times into my second week then at the end of the 2 week started light weights for arms n shoulders. 3rd week I'm doing free squats and hamstrings , shoulders and biceps n triceps... I haven't been told anything really. If I find something uncomfortable I don't do it.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
