Kickboxing

When do you think it is safe for us to do kickboxing? I did it last summer and loved it, I lost weight quick an toned up, I'm anxious to go back now that my diet is in check! I heard someone saying they do Taebo, its pretty similar.....what do you guys think? Thanks! ~Nancy

Nancy, you should definitely ask your doctor...I wouldn't be going back quite yet - you aren't that far out of surgery. I go to Ladies Workout Express (like Curves) and they wanted me to wait 5-6 weeks after surgery. I am going back for the first time since surgery tomorrow - just give your doc a quick call. Barbara

Consult your surgeon. He/she is the only person that can give you an ok to do that. We aren't doctors

what has your doc released you to do? mine releases you totally at 6 weeks call his office and ask - can't hurt you might get a yes

I agree with everyone else. Ask your surgeon and see what s/he says. My surgery was the day before yours and I had no restrictions as of April 10th. I had a lap RNY so recovery time is much shorter. Even having said that, I don't start with my personal trainer until tomorrow. I've just been walking up to this point. Better safe than sorry. MsKeara
