Hi Everyone,

I may be wishful thinking:-)

However, after surgery exercise is key. I'm aware that strenuous exercise isn't advised. Now with that being said, could I have a few of you weigh in on the thought of line dancing or Salsa for exercise? Also any post ops reading this thread how long did it take you to feel like line dancing or anything in that nature?

A month should be fine.

Line dancing isn't exactly digging ditches.

I would think Salsa would burn more calories. Zoomba would give you a good start because it teaches you basic steps for several latin dances.

That sounds fun too! When are you starting? I was telling my gf ...I got fat doing nothing just working (sitting) 8 hrs or more,sleeping, eating and sometimes sex...lol when I'm up for it. And at my weight now it ain't often. With My New Life I Want To do All The Things I Said I Want To Do ... but never did...Salas was something I wanted to do. yoga etc....

I'm going to be off for at least 8wks starting new healthy situations and habits will be a goal for me. Moving more, enjoying people and life . Getting away from just sitting and sleeping. ^_^

My surgeon told me to do NOTHING that uses core muscles for 6 weeks post-op. I think line dancing would be okay, but certainly not salsa dancing.... the twisting of the core wouldn't be good. He even considered telling me not to ride my stationary bike because it uses core muscles to keep me upright. He said the incisions may be healed but the insides aren't.

Be careful
