Returning to the gym?

When did everyone start working out again?
Im struggling atm , im a personal trainer so training is my life and I feel so lost and im in the gym every night coaching – its torture!

I dont feel ready yet as its only 17 days post op! But i was wondering by like week 4/5 if doing some banded leg work at home would be ok? I wont be doing upper body for a good 8 – 10 weeks I think

But can everyone share their experience

I WENT UNDER THE MUSCLE 350cc

Hi Shannon, how are you feeling 17 days post op?

I look forward to reading peoples experiences on this as I do A LOT of weight work in the gym and go 4 times a week so taking the time out is a big thing. Obviously you have to sacrifice as your body needs to heal but looking forward to hearing how soon people are able to return to the gym.

Im feeling fine, energy levels are back!

Loads of girls do leg workout by week 3 but id rather wait to maybe week 5 to be safe (but feeling super flat now cos my muscles havent been pumped) 😭😭

@Shannon, hi, I had 250 unders 3 weeks ago, I was tearing my hair out and went back to the gym at day 11 post op. I have just been really careful, uphill walking on treadmill, ex bike, the rolling stepper and just some resisted thigh abd/abductors and leg press machines (avoiding holding on). I have been fine so far.

Interested to know about this too. I’m two weeks post op today and missing it so much but definitely not ready yet. Even walking at a quick pace would be too much for me at the moment they feel so heavy!
