So I'm really just looking for any advice.
I'm 1 year post-op, down 116lbs. I'm 19 from goal and thinking I may need to start weight training? Does anyone have any insight on this?
Since surgery, I've strictly done cardio (elliptical/running) 30 mins, 3-5 times a week on average. Now that I'm so close to goal, I'm losing only a few pounds a month or so. I've been thinking that I might need to start something new for exercise.
I've read a little about HIIT (high intensity interval training) and I'm thinking of taking my cardio down from 30 mins to 15 mins of HIIT.
Then maybe incorporating 30 mins of weights, but I really don't have a clue on where to start with that. Are there any DVDs that might be a good help?
I'm also thinking I might need to up calories? I strive for 800 but typically end up with about 850-900, pre-exercise. I think that the 600-800 I was doing for the first year with all the cardio was good, but since my body isn't budging much these days, I'm thinking I need something different?
Has anyone ran into anything like this? Any experience?
