I will be having tummy tuck/armlift/chestlift surgery this summer and want to come out of surgery looking as good as possible. I am 25 years old and currently weigh 215lbs (I used to be 370lbs) I plan on doing the Insanity workout to burn excess fat & after that I plan on lifting weights to gain muscle.
