Any Gym Users?

[MamaBearJade 2090]

Its been a few years since I did any major workouts. With a knee surgery back in June last year, I have been wanting to get back into working out and mostly have been looking towards Yoga and Pilattes. I am wondering what exercises, if any of you have any suggestions, I should do. Keep in mind I have asthma, a knee problem, and occasionally some equilibrium issues. I recently joined a gym and wanted to get in some good ideas for exercises.

Classes I intend to take

-Pilattes
-Yoga
-Kickboxing

-Swimming

 

Any suggestions?

What is your aim? Are you looking for strength, physique, or to just be 'healthy'. (I have been lifting for nearly 3 years)

healthy, drop some weight but mostly just start becoming healthy. I am 40-ish pounds higher than i wanna be, but i am not really too unhealthy either

I have a very strange way of keeping fit that I don't reccomend: Run in circles when your bored and leave your house to walk aimlessly for hours.

if you are looking to be healthy then I dont know what to tell you, run a lot? I mainly do heavy weights and aim for new rep maxes every week. I guess in your position my workouts would not work for you.

If you're looking to lose weight your kitchen hours are much more important than your gym hours. What I mean is no matter how hard you go in the gym, it'll be useless if you eat a few big macs after. Everyone is different but the biggest hurdle in weight loss is your mind. If you can get it in your mind how to eat and what is okay you'll be grinding down pounds.

Cardio and healthy eating to lose weight.
Broccoli and Kale everyday.
Running is the best exercise, sprinting if you can handle it.

Probably don't go all out with knee problems... cardio is best for just being healthy, you could maybe do some light weighted leg exercises like some light leg press (helped me with ankle/knee problems) I was able to work up from not being able to apply weight to leg pressing 600 kilo's without knee/ankle strain. Body weight exercises will also help a lot with injury and you can ease into it all the same, but in general a casual walk/jog/run can help build up strength. All that for rehabilitation on your knee but pretty much the same **** everyone else said, swimming is great but make sure your diet is right most of all.

Get your diet under control before anything. Track your macros and make weight goals for yourself.

When that is taken control of, visit https://stronglifts.com/5x5/. Its a beginner weight training program and it can get you in fantastic shape. If your knee is a concern, take it light on squats and supplement swimming for cardio.
