stuchols 0 Posted January 9, 2011 I had my surgery 12/27 and the first week was great but I was feeling exhausted. Now, I just moved onto soft foods and for the last few days I've been feeling wonderful! When can I start "hard core" workouts? I've been walking and going about my regular routine but am so excited to started the 30 day shread again. I'm going to call my doctor on Monday but would love any advice. Thanks!

honk 780 Posted January 9, 2011 I started back at the gym on the treadmill day four after surgery; gradually increased time and incline. At 2 weeks I was aloud to resume swimming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmixon 1 Posted January 10, 2011 The super glue on my incisions has come off already (less than two weeks) so I am trying to avoid the pool right now. I don't want any trouble. I haven't gotten back to the gym yet, but will this afternoon/evening. I have to share a car with my son, so I have to work around his schedule. Then there is the trouble I have getting up and going in the mornings. ugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChopswyfT 1 Posted January 11, 2011 Yesterdy was my first day back working out (post op 6 days)...today makes a week since my surgery. I take Zumba at my college for credit (yayy). Anyway, I had a great time, felt really good. I even had the younger students watching my every move. Most of the younger students in my class were Zumba virgins. I knew the most of the moves already and had a great time. Self proclaimed Zumbaholic! No pain, no soreness afterwards. I must say having the right shoes helped quite a bit. I felt nervous when I finshed , like I may have went back too early. So, I called my surgeon's office and asked was it okay? I was told to go at it easy starting out and slowly progress. But, no weight lifting or kick boxing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
