  • Yes, I was not sure what your focus was on. I should add calf raise to that list then. For squats and lunges, IF you need to avoid tightening your core at all use a chair for balance. For lunges with a chair, kick your non-working back (rear body weight lunge) or slide to the side (side lunge) and use a chair for balance.…

  • First things that come to mind would be: Walking, step ups, bicycling, and body weight squats and lunges. Of course I am not sure exactly how much you can or cannot do. If there is any question you should consult your doctor.

  • While I would agree that muscle gain during weight loss is MUCH more difficult than bulking my experience has combined the two. Over the last month I have lost about 7 lbs of fat and gained 2 lbs of muscle while on a caloric deficit. The body composition scale (Omron HBF-510W) measurements are not exact but plotted over…
