Time For Working Out



Recommended Posts

Hi

Am 5 weeks post-op. I started working out at the gym about 2 weeks ago. I prefer early morning because am so busy during the day.

My question is: is there a prime time for working out? I mean do we burn more if we work out at specific time of the day? Morning? Afternoon? Evening?

I am a early morning person as well. I get the bulk of my workout in before work, after work I walk with my dogs for about 45 minutes for a total of about 1 and a half hour work out. I don't think that there is any one better time than another, I am no expert but I do what works for me and my schedule. Its better than no exercise at all. I think you will stick with something that is easily in your schedule.

I do not think it matter what time you work out, what matters it that you work out. I do mine mostly from late afternoon (4:00) to anywhere as late as 10:00. It all depends on the day, where I am working out etc. I think the biggest thing is to just keep doing something and eventually increasing what you are doing, either with increased time, reps, resistance, strength etc. So just find a time every day that you can work out and do it. It is great if you can find the same time everyday to make it a ritual or habit, but I find I can't do that, but I do find time daily, with a few rare exceptions to exrecise at least 30 minutes a day.

Good Luck on finding what works for you, and do not give up!

Yeah, am a morning person too. I teach early twice a week so I don't workout these days. The other days, I go to the gym at 6:30, work out for 40 mins on the treadmill.

I think you're right. I'll keep doing it this way coz it's best for me & my schedule.

Hi' date='

According to me working out early in the morning is a better idea rather then in the evening. I have heard that early in the morning, going out for walks helps alot to burn fats and will keep you fit.[/quote']

Yeah, that's what I do too & am enjoying it

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
