Exercise

[bgirl505 1]

I am almost two months post op. I'm walking but tbh I am not consistent...about 2-3 times a week...it has taken me awhile to get energy. I'm a stay at home Mom of 3.5 year old boy/girl twins...they take most of my energy lol...I also watch other children in my home. I miss going to Zumba...I'm forcing myself to walk everyday this week until it becomes habit!

But here's my question...when did you start doing Zumba & weight training? My docs said 4-6 weeks after...am I nuts to try it at 4 wks out??!?

My surgeon released me for cardio at 4 weeks and weight training at 6 weeks. I'm 4.5 months out and still waiting for my energy levels to rise. I use my stationary bike when I can.

Good luck!

You're on the right track! I started back with zumba and zumba toning at 4 weeks when I was released. Absolutely love it! I even started spinning to burn more calories and hopefully tone my legs some more. I walk or ride bike outside the other days. My son just turned 14 so it's a little easier for me but stick with it! Your kids will love having an active and fit mama to keep up w them!!

I'm 2 months out...walk 3-5 times a week (training for a 5k next month), aquasize 1x a week, yoga 1x a week and added weights (nautalis machines sr the ymca) this week. I do get fatigued, but I'm feeling great! ♡

That's awesome! I wish there was aquatics near me! I think in gonna wait until 6-8 weeks out to do any weight training.

Thamk you! I love the water! Good idea to wait...make sure you allow yourself time to heal.

I wouldn't do core exercises until 6 weeks, but cardio I did starting day 2.
