Crossfit

[yescobar 42]

I have 4 month post op and barely have done exercise. Do you think that doing crossfit is a good option?

@@yescobar - as long as your dr has cleared you for intense exercise then I would say yes. Along with crossfit or any strength training program make sure you are getting in cardio - walking/jogging/biking etc.

Your post doesn't have your weight, so it's hard to imagine where you are right now. Crossfit is good in conjunction with cardio. If you've been largely sedentary, Crossfit is going to be horrible initially, which is not a bad thing, but if you supplement it with walking, light jogging, biking or use of the elliptical, you can work on building muscle with CF, but also getting leaner with cardio. I don't tend to think that only doing Crossfit is the best option, but it can give you a great community to be part of, and social experiences when working out are a lot more likely to contribute to you being consistent with exercising than is the case of being stuck doing something entirely on your own.

Good luck!
