Returning to the gym?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, So I was told not to lift anything greater than 15 lbs for 4 weeks but was never given a time period as to when I could return to the gym, I was just told to take it easy. It's been almost 4 weeks since my surgery date and I have noticed the weight loss start to slow down. When did you guys return to the gym? I'm ready to kick-start the weight loss again!

I'm 8 weeks out and just going back to the gym this week. I was cleared for walking at one week (which I walk my dog daily) but not cleared for abdominal exercises or weights till 6 weeks. Well, it's now been 2 weeks and I haven't been motivated enuf I guess.

Yesterday I went in for a 60 minutes massage so I actually stepped foot in the gym. Looked like fun so I'm up for going this afternoon. Hate it when I have an appt before the gym. I hafta take 2 showers. What a waste!

So to answer ur question: I wasn't cleared for abdominal stuff till 6 weeks. I'm ready to go back and do about 400 crunches today! Yeah right! That'll happen...
