[quote=Anonymous]I’m a 49 year old woman almost 50 pounds into what I hope will be 100 pound weight loss on Wegovy.  I hired a personal trainer through DeHenzel Training Systems in NOVA.  They did an in depth interview, a medical intake, talked to me about my goals and what motivated me— and matched me with an excellent trainer. It’s about $100 an hour, but he comes to my house twice a week with kettlebells, resistance bands, ankle weights, etc.  I’m working around some arthritis, an old knee injury  and surgery recovery. Getting the 1:1 help for my specific issues to avoiding another injury is very helpful. It’s a very collaborative process, which is what I need. And he gave me several great 10 minute mini stretch and strength breaks I do during the day. And ramps them up every few weeks.  I then add biking 3 times a week on my own. If I feel I can do more, we add more. If an exercise is painful for my injured knee, he finds a different way to work the same muscle. My balance is still off after joint surgery, so we do exercise that focus on strengthening my weaker side and on balance. Etc.

According to my weight loss clinic Inbody scans and my scale at home, I’m not gaining muscle— but I’m also not losing any. Fat loss only.  Which with significant weight loss (about 10 pounds a month maintained since April) a woman my age is a big concern for my MD and dietician. [/quote]
