Daily activities and exercising before weight loss surgery is, of course, important for your health. But it is also a first step towards preparing your mindset for what is to come after surgery.
Being physically active helps keep your heart and lungs healthy, it ensures healthy bone density and joint mobility, and it alleviates stress, anxiety, and depression. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much to make a noticeable difference. Start by changing position frequently and generally moving more.
Here’s a daily activity regimen you might follow over the next few weeks.
Daily activities
Make sure to perform normal daily activities such as washing up, cooking for yourself, grocery shopping, and so forth.
There are plenty of ways to incorporate physical activity into your everyday life. If you can, take the stairs instead of the elevator and park your car a little further away from the store and walk the rest of the way. Do things that keep you moving and change positions at least once every hour.
