6 weeks post op and cleared to exercise

[attractpositive 12]

I'm so excited. Doc says I can do any exercise now. I don't want to do anything too strenuous in the beginning. I want to gradually build myself up. Any suggestions for some good workouts that incorporate cardio and weights but isn't to hard? I figure I would start off with 30 min a day and build up to an hour.

To add... I have worked out lots before.... Just wondering what you all are doing besides walking.... I was thinking maybe turbo jam from beach body or possibly insanity because you can go at your own pace.... And then incorporate some weights or resistance bands later on...

I joined a health club with Water aerobics and go religiously. I can manage 1 hr. of water aeorbics but would not make it through 1 hour of boucing on a gym floor. As I loose the pounds I will progress to the floor exercises.

. So water aerobics does help? I can't do regular exercises because my hips hurt a lot.

It has helped my joint flexibility and is building my strength and endurance. And I know it launches my metabolism for the day.

If you find a YWCA or health club with Water aerobic classes, may they will offer a trial week so you can attend class a few times to see how it feels for you.

Water aerobics takes the pressure off your joints if you can find a spot in the pool where thou are chest deep in water during your work out you are between %85-90 weightless. Less weight less pursue on the joints its a great way to exercise for people with mobility or joint problems. And always go at your pace no matter how fast or slow the instructor or class is going.
