What exercise 4 weeks out?

I'm on my 4th week post-op. What kind of excercises are allowed at this stage? I have been doing treadmill, eliptical and lunges with bi-cep curls. What else can I do?

My doctor said I could workout starting at 2 weeks out, but I didn't want to injure myself. Last week I started doing some machines at the gym and the eliptical for 30 minutes. But what I really wanted to know is what everyone did when they first started working out. What about running? Biking? I had a hernia repaired and don't want to mess that up.

I had my surgeory in 2013 and at that time doctor's suggest me to for slow walk. After 1 year in 2014 doctor's told me to join gym and now I am strong with a proper diet and exercise and now I can do everything like running, swimming, cycling everything. The best part of this I am participating in NYC March Events in march 2016. If you want more information on this you can click here also.
