Pre surgery workouts?

Hey everyone!

I was wondering how many started workouts/toning before surgery? My surgery is July 29th.

I feel like if I start toning now maybe I will have less extra skin after surgery. Would I be correct?

Can you share your stories if you've started being proactive with toning and how your results are after surgery?

Walk...walk...and walk

No seriously that's what I did and *still* do. 45 min every day which is about 10,000 steps. It's something that I could do at my highest and lowest weight and with the right clothes, I could do everyday. So I couldnt say to myself that I couldnt do it due to the weather.

THE most important thing is to do something that is SUSTAINABLE! If it's not something that you can do everyday or every other day...then dont even go down that road. You will only feel guilt about it later.

As for skin, there are lots of factors about how your skin will react and bounce back (or not). These are beyond your control completely...even if you are tone or not. Look at obese2beast on youtube and you will see what I mean. Dont let "toning" be your one more thing to worry about. Focus on the rest.

Like I said, I walked...and it really helped me get ready for the surgery both physically and mentally.

Thanks for posting this! Curious on hearing the responses on this. I have not had the surgery yet, tentatively planned for July, depending on how covid impacts. I have started a workout program to try to get toned and more energy before hand. Really enjoy Les Mills on demand classes and a lot of squats and ab work. Here's hoping it reduces lose skin :).
