Have piled on a lot of weight in lockdown, and I was already bordering on overweight. My BMI is now 27 and I want to get back down within the healthy range.
I’ve been much less active than I would usually be pre covid and my step count has dropped from around 8-11k a day down to 2-3k. How much of a difference will it make if I consistently aim for say 7.5k steps a day for several weeks? I hear mixed messages about the impact it will make.
I have had several abdo surgeries (fully healed) which have given me scar tissue and adhesions which make high intensity exercise uncomfortable (that and unfitness!) hence my Q re steps.
