[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am you pre-transformation. When starting on weightlifting, did you work with a trainer? Follow videos? I don’t even know how to get started but my DEXA scan showed I desperately need to start doing this.[/quote] My first step was joining a gym and I got two free sessions with a trainer who helped me feel more confident with the machines. Then I read a lot, consulted my physical therapist, and built a program alternating upper and lower body. At one month I had a free body composition scan with a trainer who reviewed my program and made tweaks. When I gained strength and confidence I added more weight and checked in again with the trainer at two months. At 10 weeks I paid for three mini-sessions to learn more machines and bodyweight exercises. I’ll add free weights next. I also found a great sports dietician to help me adjust my diet to support this new program. I’m only 10 weeks in, so it’s still a work in progress. My goal is see significant progress by my birthday (5-6 months after joining the gym). More importantly, I hope to internalize these new habits so I can maintain them for life. Good luck to you! My DEXA scan was pretty motivating too.[/quote]
