Recommendations

Maintain: Continue your current healthy habits. Keep a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats in your diet.

Exercise: Maintain a routine that includes both strength training (2-3x/week) and cardio (150 minutes/week).

Monitor: Keep track of your waist circumference as well as BMI—a waist over 40 inches increases health risks even with a normal BMI.
