Focus on overall health and wellness
Shift your mindset to prioritize the enjoyment of the workout itself and aim for overall health and wellness. This includes stamina, flexibility, and strength, but also encompasses other aspects like stress management, sleep quality, and nutrition.
Setting process goals

Exploring new training methodologies
To keep things interesting, try exploring new training methodologies or modalities. This could involve incorporating elements of circuit training, HIIT workouts, kettlebell training, or bodyweight exercises into your routine.
Improving Plateaued Weight Loss after Bariatric Surgery
The individual underwent bariatric surgery and has successfully lost a significant amount of weight. However, they have hit a plateau and are seeking advice on how to continue their weight loss progress. They are specifically concerned about loose skin, so they would prefer to lose weight slowly. Additionally, they would like to know how much protein they should be consuming given their bariatric lifestyle and how many calories they should be eating based on their in-body scan results. They also have joint pain and osteoarthritis, and they are wondering how they can increase muscle strength and bone density without exacerbating their joint issues.
Recommended Approach: Reverse Dieting and Strength Training
The summary provides a summary of the two recommendations given to the individual: reverse dieting and strength training. Reverse dieting involves gradually increasing calories to prevent excessive weight gain while fueling the body for muscle building. The individual is advised to increase protein intake to around 120 grams per day and divide it among several meals. Strength training is recommended as the best approach for improving muscle strength and bone density. Specific exercises such as squats and deadlifts are suggested, with an emphasis on proper technique, range of motion, and bracing the core during movements. Regression exercises, such as sitting squats and using a pole or strap for support, are also mentioned. The individual is encouraged to work with a trainer or movement specialist for personalized guidance and to slowly progress in their training.
