Getting Back in Shape

[BPPLEE]

I haven't worked out since July 4th due to nerve pain and not wanting to make the problem worse. I look forward to the time I have surgery and recover so I can start working out again.

I am finally under 200 pounds and have lost 23 pounds since last October! I should lose another 30 or more pounds! woohoo!

I'm so sorry! I hope you feel better soon!

God bless

I don't have a lot of trouble with my weight. I'm a shrimp and only weigh around 70kg, which is more or less my target weight.

I got to the gym a couple of times a week and I should be running more, but I'm OK for my age.

From what I've read above the X3 bar system seems to be a compact system?

Any comments on it?

I like it, but I had to buy the long bar to go with it, the one that comes with it was too small for me.
You can find them on EBay for better prices than buying direct

Running can be quite intense and potentially cause injuries on the shins and knees if overdone being "high impact" exercise. If you're already running even if minimally, you're good already.

Most older individuals around my place prefer cycling (low impact) to running as their main cardio exercise. Most of the runners around my place are <40 years old.

However, cycling can weaken the bones if you skip off-bike strength training (lifting weights, bands, etc at least one session per week) and don't have enough calcium in diet especially if you're cycling many hours per week. It may even be necessary to increase calcium intake.

My surgery is 12/23. They are doing a laminectomy and putting screws at L4-L5.
I will have to be careful when I start working out again

Well July 4th 2024 was the last day that I worked out. September 25th 2024 was the last day I worked. I had surgery December 23rd and January 6th I had a blood clot in my leg and one went to my lungs.
I have to use a walker or crutches to get around. I weigh 370
I have started Weight Watchers and I am going to start working out with bands and chair workouts
