Is it to early to workout

[beingforreal16]

I'm 1 month and 6 day out from surgery and i really want to do a spin class but unsure if that is best for me to start doing. I go to the doctor on the 28th of this month but i feel i really need to get busy. I am down 35 pounds but I havent been taking in enough protein and my muscle toned body is now looking flabby. I need help with getting my protein in because I cant eat that much period. Maybe I need to start lifting weights help help help

I don't think that you should do a spin class just yet.
Maybe curling weights for toning arms. Mine was so stretched out I have to get arm tuck.
How ever I can walk my buns off now and not worry about falling out..

Start easy...

I was also told that at 1week after surgery I could get back to a routine. I'm up to my usual 3miles a day... The first few das sucked, but since its been smooth sailing.

My doctor's recommendation is walking for the first eight weeks. After that, you may lift weights and participate in more strenuous exercise.

My Dr. said I could do a spin class during my fourth week - but he said no resistance. I actually didn't get to one until about my 6th week and it felt great ! I only used slight resistance during the stands and had no problems. Call your doc's office and ask just to be sure! Good luck

Thank you all for your good advice maybe i need to walk alot more and then once doctor visit I can do the things I really want to do. He told me to walk but not much of a walker but i will have to become one.

My dr said walking was fine but wait 6 weeks for more strenuous stuff like Zumba.
