When can I Zumba again?

[Julie5 0]

I have been pretty into Zumba for the past 6 months and want to get back to it as soon as possible. My surgery was just this past Monday 6/7. Anyone have any opinions on when I might be able to go back? My Dr. says 2 weeks I can start back to exercising, but the problem is I don't think he knows how high impact it is. I don't think he knows what Zumba is. Its moving and shaking and dancing around for an hour and sweating and burning more calories than I ever had in my life before I started. When I leave there I can barely move the rest of the night. I love it!

The club I go to has a Rookie Zumba. You may try it first because it will give you an idea of how much you will be able to take. Right after surgery I was always tired. Good luck to you.

I resumed Zumba after about 2 months. I was just a little scared to move around too much. Especially because there is all that hip, waist and belly movements. I was a little sore for a long time around my stomach. I had my surgery in February and still am a little afraid to do a lot of crunches, but everything else Im already doing full force. My doctor just said if it hurts dont do it. If it dosent go right ahead, so I would say try it and see how you feel. Every one is different. Good Luck!!! I ABSOLUTELY love Zumba so I totally understand wanting to get back FAST!
