How soon after surgery did you do real exercise again?

Just wondering when I'll be able to do something like an hour long Zumba class. I'm still sore in a few of my incisions and my energy isn't 100%.

I was cleared by my surgeon's aftercare team to perform 'real' exercise (a.k.a. moderate to vigorous intensity) at six weeks out.

However, I did not resume exercise until approximately three months out. I started with a walk/jog routine. Less than two years later I run an average of 30 miles per week.

Wow! That's awesome!

I'm one month post-op as of yesterday and I walk at least 4 miles 5 times a week or 10000 steps and I started few days after my surgery.

I'm 8 weeks postop and could imagine starting a zumba class about now. I had a very easy recovery too.
