Exercises

[Elle1906 12]

Hi guys,

Not sure if I should post this in this part of the form or not.

I'm just over a year out of surgery, and have lost approx 36 kilos... (If the scales are right, just moved so waiting on my aria to arrive)

However I still feel like I'm big like before hand, logically I know that's not true but I'm thinking it's because I'm not toned- so still have a little tummy etc

The photos attached are my before and afters...

What kind of exercises are/did people do that helped with toning and slimming the fat on their legs and stomach areas?

Would appreciate the help

Cheers,

Elle

Congratulations on your weight loss. You look great!

My favorite kind of exercise is swimming. I swim laps and do Water aerobics, Water weights, etc. Exercising in the water is great because it's easy on the joints and the water provides lots of resistance.

Cardio is always good, but if you really want to tone, then you need to weight train. And don't worry about the myth that you will get bulky. That is actually very, very difficult to do. There are good books out there, or if you can, getting a trainer is a good way to go if you can afford it. Hit the gym, or get resistance bands, or do workouts using your own body weight. There is lots of info on the Internet! Great job on your weight loss success!
