Hello all...

Well, today I'm celebrating my 2 months post op but I'm struggling to know what kind of workouts should I do... I was going to do TRX but then I was afraid to go to the class.

PS: I hate jogging and Zumba... So pleae shower me with your options!

Much love,

Amira

Ideas : personal trainer and weight lifting ( you won't bulk up) yoga Pilates , cycling or spin class , boot camp type classes, check out what the different gyms offer in your area and ask around locally what there is to do. Just give things a try a few times. I hated jogging but I actually enjoy the 5k app, I just needed to find my way

So can I now lift a little bit and gradually?

Thanks

I've been using my treadmill, swimming, and just took my first yoga class ever. Good luck!

Check with your surgeon - but at 2 months or 8 weeks out most will allow you to resume full workouts at this point. I went back to the gym at 6 week mark, and began lifting weights again.

Do what you enjoy, start small/reasonable and build up. It is no fun to over do it your first week and then quit!

I was very obese when I started, so Water aerobics were my first work outs. I loved it, felt so good. I stopped doing it when i wanted more intensity, but it helped me lose the first 70# or so!!!!

I was released to cardio and lifting 4 weeks post op

I have been going to the gym daily since January

If you are just starting an exercise habit...start slow and work yourself up.

Challenge yourself cardio on bikes and ellipticals or treadmill...either by uping your time or beating your distance in that time each week.

Good luck
