What shows up next

Nov16Mon
Strength session A (about 25 min) · 8:00 AM

Warm up with 3 minutes of easy marching or walking.

Nov18Wed
Strength session B (about 25 min) · 8:00 AM

Warm up with 3 minutes of easy marching or walking.

Nov22Sun
Protein check for the week ahead · 6:00 PM

Sunday check: plan a protein source for each meal this week (eggs, Greek yogurt, fish, chicken, tofu, beans, cottage cheese).

When weight comes off quickly, some of it is often lean mass. Resistance training and enough protein are the two levers most clinicians point to for protecting it. The U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines recommend muscle-strengthening activity on at least two days a week for all adults.

Session A (Monday and Friday) and Session B (Wednesday) use chairs, walls, steps and grocery bags. No equipment or gym needed. Sunday evening brings a protein planning check. This is general fitness information, not medical advice. Check with your prescriber before starting a new exercise plan, especially if you have joint, heart or balance concerns.

Questions

I've never lifted weights. Is this too much?

It's built for beginners: bodyweight and household loads, 3 sets, stopping before failure. Start with 1–2 sets if you need to.

Why does protein matter?

Muscle is built from protein, and appetite-suppressing medication can make it easy to eat too little. Ask your clinician or a dietitian for a target that fits you.
