How far were you out before resuming cycling?

Hello

I had my surgery Feb 8th and can't remember when my Dr said I could resume cycling, will ring them on Monday to double check. Was wondering how far out people were before they resumed their exercises? Have you now changed your routine and find a different exercise to benefit you more? I'm now getting a bit bored with walking and can't wait to get back on my bike as I can go further distances and time seems to fly by.

Hello, we were told can use the stationary bike after 2 weeks so I was walking more as not joined a gym yet. As the weather is getting better I will venture out more on the bike when able to.

Spinning class is more like the outside thing, but you should wait and ask your surgeon then just to be safe.

I will be on their case in the morning......walking has been good but not very stimulating.

I rung the hospital and was advised I can cycle after 8 weeks. As my surgery was Feb 8th I'm good to go!

  • 4 weeks later...

My doctor said I am fine to start cycling at home on stationary bike at 2 weeks out.

Haven't though ;-( almost at week 5 but I plan to start tomorrow, seriously! I need to kick it up a notch. At last starting to feel human and getting accustomed to my pouch - aka Dramaqueen.

Weather permitting I am out on my bike all the time! I've noticed that since my weight loss the cycling is much easier and I can cycle further. I don't go mad but make sure I go steady and am gone for a few hours. Instead of going in the car I get my bike and run errands. It's given me such a new lease of life and it's great!
