I'm 6 weeks post op. has anyone tried doing Zumba around this time?

I started Zumba 8 weeks out and was completely fine. Just listen to your body and it will tell you your limits!

Thanks! I love Zumba!

You're welcome! I didn't start until after surgery but I am loving it too. I also do aqua Zumba which is different from the normal classes but lots of fun.

I've been going since 3 weeks post op, I'm 6 weeks post op now. I love it!

My doc gave me the ok to start Zumba!! Woo hooo

I have been doing Zumba since 3 1/2 weeks out, without issue! Have fun!

I'm a really nervous about running out of energy or wanting to take big gulps of water. Big gulps cause me horrible pain in my chest. I guess I just have to be careful.

Understandable. I keep my Water close to

me and take a drink in between every song. I usually take a decent sized drink, and then swallow is slowly once it is in my mouth!

The best part of Zumba is that there will be every kind of fitness level in the class. Some beginners, some experts. Some who will do high impact, and some who will do very low. Just find your personal pace and have fun. The first few times I went, sometimes I had to just focus on legs and not worry about the arms actions. I didn't jump or do any kind of high impact. But there were others just like me!
