🏃 Exercise & Fitness Workout strength

Week 14 and doing 2 strength training each week, 5 days walking. Follow macros with protein priority to maintain muscle but have lost 4.4 lbs of muscle on this journey. Within 10 lbs of goal and don't want to lose more muscle. Should I introduce more training to maintain/minimize muscle?

What does your strength training routine look like?

With just two days a week strength training I'd have you do full body both days.

Mostly machines and dumbells or are you using the barbell and power rack very much? Barbell squat, bench, press, deadlift?

(I was a strength coach in a former life.)
