Exercise???

So I’m 5 days PO… I usually go the gym 5 times a week I know I can’t lift weights or anything for 6 weeks… But does anyone know when it would be OK to maybe go back to just walking on the treadmill or maybe the bike?? Like after 2 or 3 weeks??? Would be greatful for advice!! ☺️ Xx

Hey @Sammii, my nurse banned me until 4 weeks post op and said even then I can only do light lower body exercise x

4 weeks is better than 6 I don’t mind just doing light lower body exercise… I just don’t want to not do anything for 6 weeks… ?? thank you!! Xx

I know that feeling! I’m 4 weeks post op on Monday and can’t wait to get back in the gym!
Good luck x

hello, I have the exact same problem!! I used to do kickboxing 3-5 times a week, and running as well.. I’ve seen the nurse for my one week post op and she said that I can’t do any CRAZY cardio, but she didnt say anything about light cardio ^^. I am trying to be sensible though, and will leave it till after I’ve had the stitches taken out (which is in 2 days). I will ask my surgeon what he thinks, but when I met him for the first time before the op he said I should be able to go back to the gym after 3 weeks! I did have overs though, so not sure if that’s why my recovery is slight quicker? Do you want me to let you know what he said when I see him on Tuesday :)? xx

awwwww if you don’t mind will you?? Tbf I’m going to get my dressings changed tomorrow so I might ask then… I really just don’t wanna over do it… But I’d be greatful to know about light cardio.. Maybe just walking on the treadmill orrrrr doing the bike… Yeah I think they heal a bit quicker don’t they!! Haha I’ve already put on so much weight not being able to control what I’ve been eating out of boredom ?? haha xx

Me and my gf Ann we train at https://champ-belts.com/classes/kickboxing/, and after op she start very light workouts without any loads after 5-6weeks
