Gym?

Guys I know this gets asked loads but I’m having an awful time not being able to go gym!!! I literally keep eating cause I’m bored…. I know that’s a stupid excuse but I go gym 5 times a week so now I’ve got so much time on my hands…

I’m three weeks PO

Can I go and walk on the treadmill
Can I go on a sitdown bike?
Can I do squats with no weights???
Lunges?
Can I do any leg raises??? My belly is getting fat!

I know it’s something to do with blood pressure or something but these are just light exercise??

Hi sammii, I’m exactly the same. I’ve been walking about 6 miles a day just because I’m sick of not being able to go to the gym so I’ve ditched my car for the last two weeks haha! I’ve also been doing squats (probably shouldn’t I know) and I’m fine. Hopefully I don’t eat my words but I’m gonna be returning to the gym this week and just doing stair master, spinning bike, treadmill on incline etc. I’ve done nothing but eat for 2 weeks and I’m cracking up haha. Let me know if you go back how you get on! Xxx

I’m 3 weeks post op and went to the gym today for the first time.
I walked on the treadmill at an incline and did bodyweight squats, lunges etc. I felt fine. I didn’t go too hard though. I didn’t want to raise my heart rate to a crazy pace because they advise against it.

I think if your sensible with what you do in the gym then you should be fine.

So glad this has been posted! My op isn’t for 3 weeks but the thing I’m dreading most is not being able to go to the gym after lol ! I’m the same, do 5 mornings a week so need to know when and what u can do lol X

Im 5 weeks post op, just been doing light weight high rep on machines such as leg curl, leg press, extensions etc then bodyweight stuff and stuff with very little weight – im a PT so just stick to what you think is best x

Thanks everyone! I think I am going to go back next week… Just go on the treadmill and the bike!!! I feel fine I just feel like a massive SLOB! ??

I’ve been back tonight and I feel so much better for it! So hard when you’re used to training to take so long off! Easter just round the corner too nightmare haha! Hope you enjoy your first session back even tho you won’t be able to do much! Xxx

I’m not even a week post op yet and I feel bloated and huge!! Can’t wait to get back the gym!! Xx
