300-350 lb workout plan



Recommended Posts

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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
