Exercise tips

[ancirasd 44]

What are some exercises you guys have been doing? I’m 4 months post op gastric sleeve and I got cleared for kick boxing and have been doing it twice a week for two weeks now but I’d like to add more workouts to my routine

I went back to doing CrossFit! It allows me to get my cardio and weight training.

I do Powerlifting, CrossFit, swimming, and biking.

Doing rope exercise. It's very tiring but all worth it.

Sleeved 2 months ago, and I hope to participate in GoRuck obstacle course this year. It's a military styles "obstacle" course off activities, not exactly like a Spartan.< br>
The principle thing in a GoRuck event, is to "ruck," and in military lingo that is carry your gear. So they require you for the entire length of event, to carry a backpack with a 10-20 lb weight in it in addition to any Water or supplies.

So that is what I am working to. Right now, just 5lbs for my 1-2 mile walks. Need to get it to 20lb for 10 mile walks.

I like a well-rounded fitness program so I run, do strength training and hiits/bootcamp type of training,

[jess9395 5,450]

Running for cardio, yoga for strength and flexibility (mostly Vinyasa and Asthanga)

[Kat410 423]

I do full body workouts 3-4x a week, which include a lot of compound movements, HIIT type of workouts and occasional yoga.

I also do a lot of core work, my go-to's now are reverse crunches, push ups, low planks to high planks, renegade rows w/pushups, back extensions with weights, Russian twists, etc.

Then, of course, lots of squats. I alternate with sumo squats (on two platforms with 60 lb kettlebell), goblet squats with weights, split squats.

And of course deadlifhts - both standard and single leg.

You cannot spot train - it just doesn't work. Not knowing where you are or your fitness level, consider working with a personal trainer for a session or two to get a program that suits what you can do. I'm down 110-120 pounds and I still have tummy and back fat. That said, I can also hold a low plank for 3 minutes and a side plank for 1.5 minutes. I can deadlift and back squat more than I weigh. But I still have fat hanging over my bra. Unless I have plastics, that's not going to change. I'm working on replacing fat with muscle and now have my body fat at around 31% headed to 28%.

I wish spot training was a thing.....i exercised my butt right off but still have a jiggly flap of a belly....

I workout every day....different muscle groups for each day....

Love lifting weights, so that is the majority of my workout but my warm up is a mile on the treadmill....

On the weekends get up early, work out pack a lunch and do some biking....

[funky_monkey800 247]

When i first started working out i did the insanity program a few times...that will definitely give a good kick start to any routine!

I e started swimming. I actually have a coach and am learning the correct form. It is using every muscle in my body and has finally gotten me out of a long plateau. I highly suggest it. iWork out hard without the pain and it’s helping my arthritis.
