Lap Band Port-friendly Ab Exercises?

[Jenn1214 120]

I need to start working on my abdominals...they are so weak! My port is about an inch or so below my belly button, so I'm a little nervous about doing damage to it. Anyone have any exercises that are comfy on the port?

I was wondering the same thing, my port is right in the center of my abs by my diaphram and I have been just using the resistance machines but I really wanna get in there and do some serious exercise... hopefully someone will answer soon!!! lol

I do Zumba, step interval, yoga and am starting a piliates class tonight. I have had no issues.

Pilates is great for the core because it is usually slow exercises that you can just not push as far if you feel any discomfort. I don't do sit ups but I do cross fit which is pretty intense.

Planking is a great core exercise that is no contact or bending and, as the Internet craze proves, you can do it anywhere!
