What about water aerobics?

6 weeks before pool

I assume your question is when can we exercise. I really really want to start doing something but we have so many restrictions right now. I have been going on short hikes with my dogs but I want to work up a sweat. I was a real exercisor pre op and I miss it. I don't want to chance anything going wrong though. I also worry about getting dehydrated with strenuous exercise at this point (I'm 9 days post op).

What did you doc give you for guidelines?

Mine said walking any time

lite exercies at 3 weeks

full exercise at 6 weeks

I thought about swimming too but its bad for the incision sites.

Right now I walk and walk for exercise also while standing I lean over the counter and do pushups

I was told 4 weeks before the pool and/or baths. Good luck to you, this time really will go by fast and you'll be working up a sweat before you know it! Can you speed up your walks? I remember I started working up a good sweat when walking early out. I added more miles and sped things up.
