A member asked:

Been losing weight by eating less but want to know if i should lose weight and get to a good bmi then start weight lifting or should i do that already?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Start now.: Congratulations!!! You have taken a great step to aid your health and help yourself to live a long life!!! You can start weight and aerobic exercise (I would recommend a mix of both). As long as you have no health problems aside from weight. Good luck in your future.
