Over the past two years I’ve had a back injury. I’ve now had minor surgery and it’s 75% improved.

I’ve gained a couple of stone from not being able to exercise.

Any tips from any gym bunnies (apart from seeing my mouth up) to help me get back motivated and shift some lard please?

No earth shattering advice here but doing something is better than nothing. A lot of people start of strong and burn out. Or motivation is a struggle partly because they've over bigged up the effort or size of the task. Or they chose something thats easy to find excuses for. For example I need to be at the gym to exercise but just haven't got time to there etc. A little 2 mile walk here and there you can easily do is far better than a Ninja workout you never actually do. So I say just squeeze little bits in where practical and take it easy. Far better to do lots of pleasant excise that seems achievable than to beast yourself or aim to beast yourself and put yourself off or injure yourself. Just build up and let workload build up naturally.

Don’t join a gym till the middle of January get Christmas a new year out of your system first before joining, get a plan drawn up to suit your condition.

Good luck

Walk for weight loss. Swim for strength. Build up fitness without risking damaging your back.Three months start light weights and core training but also walk and swim.Hillwalking is great for stamina building.

Calories in vs calories out, you can’t out train a bad diet, sort your diet then look at a good programme (plenty online available that’ll be tailored to what you can do physically) and go from there

Diet is more conducive to weight loss than exercise is. Low carb always works for me. The weight just melts off, there's nothing like it. It's a serious commitment though.

Low carb diet works best but can be hard to maintain long term, so carb cycling might be worth looking at with some days higher in carbs than others. Also high protein is very important, as protein keeps you feeling full and maintains muscle mass (meaning your body loses fat and not muscle)

Cut out sugar and bread is a very simple method if you haven’t already.

Otherwise swap most of your carbs for veg.

Don’t snack

Move more, walk to the shops etc

Walk everywhere you can, I’ve never dieted, got a terrible sweet tooth with a more than healthy appetite but I walk, I love walking, you need to find something you love doing then it’s not a chore, I’d perhaps suggest if you do think gym or swimming then take up a membership as your more likely to go regularly than just paying when you go.

Diet

Diet.

I use to work out every day, never saw any change as I was still eating crap.

I then had a month of eating healthy and no working out and lost weight.

yes

i went from 13 to nearly 17 stone during lockdown

now about 14... lost 1 stone in under 6 weeks

my answer was less food (portion control) less bread and i do free HIIT videos on youtube - german girl called growing anna

to start i was just doing 2 a week with little signs of improvement but i then upped to x5 a week and a great change

she does no jumping and standing only vids if you are worried about back or joints. her classes include yoga and pilates moves which is great for core but flexibility.

I lost a lot of weight of few years ago … possibly need to revisit this again!

I just ditch the carbs … all of em!, and up the exercise regime - something everyday, but not necessarily Gym everyday, but some of that in there.

The eight literally fell off?

Motivation: Clearly understand why you want to get in shape. Maybe it's to feel better in your own skin, maybe it's to have more success in the lifestyle (I don't think it's wrong to want to look good for others), maybe you want to undertake some athletic endeavour.

Then hold that goal in your mind and bust your ass to get there. As Cus d'Amato said, determining WHY you need to do something will allow you to separate emotions from logic. It's easier to go for a run at 5am when you shift your focus from how you feel about doing it to understanding it needs to be done regardless of how you feel. Live by the WHY of what you're doing.

Oh, then go follow the 75 Hard program. It's available for free online. Worked for me.

You got this.
