Exercising After Obesity Surgery

Eating well isn’t the only way to improve your health after your obesity surgery in London. Exercise also has a role to play and getting active can actually be one of the most enjoyable benefits of losing weight.

Find Your Sport or Activity

Finding exercise enjoyable can seem hard, but there are so many ways to get fit that there really is something for everyone. You should think about whether you would prefer to exercise alone or with other people, indoors or outdoors, with the structure provided by an instructor and a scheduled class, or with a goal or competitive element to motivate you. You can then look for an activity that suits you. You might want to join a local sports team, take a class, or take on an activity like cycling or swimming that you can pursue by yourself. Although you need to start slowly after obesity surgery at the London clinic, you should gradually be able to do more as you get fitter.

Look for Other Ways to Get Active

Although many of us can find an activity to enjoy, you don’t have to limit yourself to the standard sports and exercise classes. If you can’t fit them into your schedule or if they just don’t work for you, there are plenty of other options. You might find it easier to work physical activity into your everyday life. Housework, gardening, DIY, or just playing with your children or walking the dog can all be productive ways of using some energy. You can also look beyond the usual exercise choices and try something like learning circus skills, playing ultimate Frisbee, or learning how to sail. You could even find a hobby that helps you to get fitter while doing something you love. For example, pottery could give your arms a workout when you are kneading the clay, while bird watching can get you out of the house. Just as changing your diet after obesity surgery in London can open you up to new tastes, getting fit can be a chance to find something you enjoy that is actually good for you.
