Lecture on Importance Exercise Immediately After Weight Loss Surgery

Lecture on the importance of exercise immediately after weight loss surgery given by Claudia P. Ramirez, MS, CSCS. This lecture is given at 1-week post-op to the patients at The Texas Center for Medical and Surgical Weight Loss in San Antonio, Texas.

Topics discussed in this lecture include cardiovascular training - walking - beginning immediately after surgery until week 3. Beginning in week 3 a machine based circuit training workout is implemented. In week 6 to 8 (or when your doctor has cleared you for free weights) a dynamic workout is implemented to incorporate more body movement with resistance training through free weights, medicine balls and resistance bands.

All of these programs can be done at a gym, home or local park.
