Workout Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I have about 5 weeks until my anniversary cruise. I have just been cleared to lift and do abs. I want to truly tone and continue losing. I’ve lost 31 lbs in 6 weeks but hoping to lose 23 more lbs to be at my goal. I am definitely happy with my results so far even though I stalled for the first time for 6 days 🙄 but I’m hoping the working out will increase the weight loss.

So I am open to all cardio, leg, arms and abs workouts!!

So send some suggestions my way please!!!

for the most fat burning dont eat before workout and do your lifting first followed by treadmill for at least 30 minutes, longer if your up to it.

the reasoning behind this is to deplete blood glucose levels during lifting and force your body to access stored fat.

stored fat is always the energy source of last resort, survival mechanism, so dont give yourself easy energy and let your body break down those fatty acid chains for fuel.

you dont mention being a diabetic but i have caught enough **** from others about forcing down blood glucose that if you have diabetic issues just disregard this post

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
