Calling all gym bunnies Started by: Ashlee

I started exercising at 3 weeks post op and that first week I was seeing how much I could actually do. I normally run really fast for 30 minutes on cross trainer so instead of this I was power walking and walking up on the highest incline. I then do 30 minutes on cross trainer (using no arms) on the same incline I used to do before and that hour I burn like 700 cals whereas before I used to burn about 750 so overall I am still getting a really good workout! I am over 5 weeks post op today and ran for the first time and it’s absolutely fine! just got a really high impact sports bra on under gym top and they don’t move! And no I haven’t really lost any strength. Only thing I haven’t worked on is abs so will wait till six week check next week to get the clear for doing that. I felt totally fine after two weeks and by 3 I was deffo ready to hit the gym! Everyone is different I guess but I worked out 4 times a week hardcore before so even 3 weeks was hard not to do anything!
