I am 51, I've had bariatric surgery (sleeve), and I lost about 80 pounds. Over the course of the last year and a half, I have joined a gym and go at least 2 days a week. I am menopausal, which has been challenging but is somewhat under control now. I have gained about 20 pounds during this period due to hormones and a bad diet. I would like to lose the 20 pounds but would also like to build muscle. Should I focus on weight loss or muscle building first, as I know it’s hard to do both? What workout plan should I start with?
I'm a 53-year-old man who went from 226 pounds in 2019 to losing 100 pounds by 2021. I've worked out the whole time and have landed at a weight of about 135-140 pounds. Aside from maintaining my weight, I want to get stronger without gaining weight. It’s a weird balance. I like to do Spartan sprints once a year and have goals like performing unassisted pull-ups. I had gotten to 3 pull-ups and then lost that ability, so I'm currently using bands again. I would love some tips on finding and keeping a balance.
I'm a 50-year-old woman not in menopause yet, and I have a few extra pounds. I'd love to be lean and strong again. What should I do?
