just signed up for the gym im 5 weeks post op i was wondering if anyone has any recommendation on what to start out with first at the gym as a beginner ?

Carido at first, treadmill or elliptical and talk to a trainer about weight training. My PCP wants 45min 4-5 times a week. Build up to it, Ur body can do amazing things. Good luck!

Def cardio and some weights

I do the elliptical, i think thats the best way to start out

After you build up some stamina and get stronger muscles try running on the treadmill.

Of course do strength training too! Lift weights, do sit-ups, and use the calf press machine. Those are all fairly easy for a beginner

And increase the weights and ammout of time steadily so you'll really build up!
