So I rarely discuss my WLS journey with people outside of my immediate family. And I dont give advice abt weightloss unless pushed...everything is not for everybody. But I broke my rules and got baited into an "arguement" / debate abt exercise. A co-worker mentioned she's preparing for VSG in a few months and was told she should start exercising now to help build muscle tone. She knows I've always used a trainer for weight resistance toning and asked me. Some random nobody that's failed at every diet from WW to Jenny, interjected her zero cents (yep, I can be a mean girl). She went on this rant abt the benefits of cardio...and how weight training won't help with heart strength and stamina, and how cardio will help her lose weight, blah blah. My response to the person who asked my opinion "you were told to do weight training bc ull need muscle tone as u start loosing weight really fast. While it wont completely counter saggy skin, if u build muscle tone now, ull have a jumpstart on saggy skin. I doubt the exercise was suggested to help u lose weight. By the way, if cardio helped people lose the amount of weight the 3 of us need to lose, one of us wouldnt always be at Physician's Plan center paying for pills (referring to the random big mouth).
So what's yalls take? Do u prefer cardio or weight training. Because I HATE exercising, when I do it, I prefer weight training bc it gives faster result with toning my flabby areas and shaping my body. I can do 45 minutes 2x a week and see results in a month. But cardio requires at least 4x a week, and I still dont tone or build muscle. But that's my body.
