    I am not post-op yet but my when I told my surgeon I signed up for an aquatic boot camp he told me no pool water for 30 days post-op.

    I would suggest finding things to do at home so there are no excuses. At least that's really worked for me since I have two young kids and a busy job. I used the Wii and did Walk it Out for quite awhile after surgery. Worked my way from 2,000 steps to over 11,000 and loved the game feel while just walking. Then, when I tired of that I began using Leslie Sansone's Walking DVDs. I'm still using her DVDs and walk anywhere from 1-5 miles---yesterday I did 7 between two sessions. Her walking DVDs also include the use of weighted balls and resistance bands so it is a great workout. I also am now using Kettlebell, Zumba on kinects, Biggest Loser on the Wii......I just love my options and never have to leave my house nor use weather as a reason not to work out. Good luck to you!!!!
