Strength Training after Bariatric Surgery

In this live interview, Julie Przybyla RD shares some really insightful reasons WHY to strength train….and GREAT tips on getting started with strength training.
Everyone should be strength training after bariatric surgery with anti-obesity medications. Lifting weights does not make you bulky! It makes your body burn more calories at rest.
1 - Start Small (super simple like push ups on the wall)
2- Body Weight Exercises (great for technique, build a great foundation)
3- Building muscle means building a metabolically active body - your muscles at rest will burn more calories
4- Appetite control, prioritizing protein and lower intensity cardio + building muscle will help your hunger stay on control
5- When trying a new gym or figuring out the weights - have a positive mindset! You belong there as much as everyone else. Most people aren’t looking at you or if they are, they are willing to help!

Honestly, this is so valuable. I haven’t had bariatric but I did have abdominal surgery. I’ve come down 100lbs already and am trying to figure out how to navigate strength training. This talk reaches a lot of different demographics of people with this same challenge. Thank you both for having this talk accessible here 🙏🏾

I'm so happy you enjoyed this discussion. Everyone needs to be strength training yet it can be intimidating to start. It's my goal to make it easier for people like you to start small!
