300-350 lb workout plan

[amcpherson29 22]

Is there anyone out there around the weight of 300-350 with a good gym workout plan? And if so how long per day and how many days a week are you there??

I suggest walking. Start with 20-30 minutes at a time and build it up to an hour a day.

I agree with walking, and swimming if you have a place to do so. I weighed at my highest 365 and was able to lose (over the course of a bit over a year) 150 of that with walking and swimming alone (my condo had a heated pool so even in the winter, it was warm enough to swim - getting in and out was a bit chilly!).

Once I became insulin dependent, I could no longer lose weight, which is why after sitting in the 200 to 250 range for over 6 years I decided WLS was the only way to continue the weight loss.

If you have a gym membership, most offer personal trainer sessions (free or for a fee for members). They would be a good source of information on what you can physically do safely and how to increase your flexibility and stamina.

i did Water aerobics and aqua zumba 3 times a week, 60 mins. walk, walk, walk. i just started a "land" zumba class, 60 mins, and got on an elliptical. i can do 10 mins level 3/incline1 before my thighs plead for mercy. maybe next time i'll try 12 whole mins. my surgeon said, now that i've lost 160 lbs, i should get OUT of the water. your body needs some low impact activities to prevent osteoperosis.
