liannatx 897 Posted November 6, 2005 I will be 2 weeks out on Thursday. I know that exercising is out of the question so soon but was wondering when I could ride my Recumbant bike. It seems no more strenuous than walking, which is okay to do. Or does it use ab muscles or something I dont know about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinesqueen 2 Posted November 6, 2005 two weeks out you should be fine riding the bike. I was horseback riding 3 weeks out. Just don't push yourself to hard yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJChick 3 Posted November 7, 2005 Ask your doctor. Mine said NO exercise for another 4 weeks. Be careful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PamRN 0 Posted November 7, 2005 I've read no abdominal stressing exercise for 6 weeks, but walking, running and bike riding were ok after one week. My doc said resume normal activity including exercise in 2 weeks, no ab straining for a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MerryHearted 20 Posted November 7, 2005 Mine said to do anything that was comfortable, just no swimming for 2 weeks. They pointed out that anything involving abdominals probably wouldn't be comfortable right after surgery. I'm not sure why a recumbent bike would be a problem...

Parvathi 2 Posted November 7, 2005 Ask your doctor. I was fine riding a bike two weeks out and started Water aerobics then too. Just take it easy and stop when you feel like you need to (no reason to push yourself right now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
