What exercise should i do..



Recommended Posts

I'm needing feed back on exercises to do for my arms, I have huge arms and I'm using 5lbs weights right now but would like to know what others use or what really works to help get rid of my flabby arms while I'm losing weight.. I want to be able to wear cute sleeveless shirts once I'm at my goal and not have a lot of flab hanging from my arms.. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Are you trying to tone your arms or get rid of saggy skin caused by weighloss? Cuz if it's the latter, it's virtually impossible. Saggy skin is 85% heredity and 15% luck. With a few %'s (yes, I know thats over 100%!!) due to age (younger ones have less saggy skin). no amount of exercise, special skin potions, or rate of weighloss matter. If your skin is gunna sag, it will sag no matter what you do.

Now, if you're just wanting to tone your arms, I've heard from my trainer that the lower the weight and the more reps the more you'll tone instead of building muscle. The higher the weight with less reps you'll build more muscle.

Hope that helps.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
