How long to I have to wait to start going to the gym?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I have been approved for surgery on the 14th July. I wanted to know how long do I have to wait to start going to the gym. Any advice will be helpful, thanks.

I had my surgery on a Friday and was at the gym (doing treadmill only) by Tuesday. My doctor had restrictions on weight training, so I didn't anything but the treadmill for the first 6 weeks, then resumed my weight training.

Good luck with your surgery!

I was told that I could start walking as soon as I felt able. At my 2-week post op appointment I was cleared for other exercise.
