When can I exercise?

Ok, so got my surgery booked.. it’s a while away yet but just wondering, when can you exercise post surgery?
I go to the gym 3 – 4 times a week, I go to classes and do weights too. I know weights are going to be a huge no, but in terms of like cardio etc when is it ok to get back to it?
Any advice please 🙂 xxx

They say six weeks at least, I’m a fit freak and couldn’t not train that long.
I started walking at day 6 build g my distance up then at 3 weeks went back into gym, did and still do spin but no arms, incline walking and leg weights..
Listen to your body and dont take on to much… no upper body for 6 weeks !

@sookie It’s only been a week since I last was in the gym had my op last Tuesday and it’s killing me I need to get back would you say uphill walks on treadmill be a good start? X

@BEKKA. Hi hun, I’m just saying what I did I dont want you to think that what i did will be good for you, would feel awful if you got hurt!
I started just walking and built it up to 5 miles over a couple of walk, i kept busy at home on foot but tried not to left or grip to much, think it was about week 2 I started incline on a slow walk I didn’t push to much just kept it steady and went longer… week 3 was first spin class, all legs no arms at all and no gripping its really kept my weight down I’m now probably slimmer that b4 op but my legs are well toned… I try to do 3 spin legs only 3 times a week and stairmaster on a HIIT level, I’m 6 weeks on Thursday and feel good, i had 40pcc hp and they are looking amazing.
I do all leg weights on machines, no squats with weights but I do a squat and lunge routine I got on you tube, it’s great for home but the last 2 exercises are on all 4s so i give them a miss.
Check out kylie Cyrus sexy legs ( it’s on c hiit on you tube e not mylie Cyrus lol) its fab

Thank you just hard when you go from training at least 5 times a week to nothing isn’t it !! Xx
