Does anyone know how long we should wait to start aeorbics or core training after surgery!
I want to start aqua fitness asap but not sure how long I will have to wait. Also, I have a trainer lined up at our fitness center. I guess she can work on lower and upper body without haveing to do core, but just curious. Any comments welcomed please.

Definitely ask your doctor, but I would say 6 weeks minimum. You can start walking earlier and there is nothing better than walking to start an exercise program.

For the first eight weeks, we are supposed to walk 30 min. a day. Starting with 10, then building up from there. After the eight weeks, you can do other exercise.

Guess  I should postpone the personal trainer eh!  Walking is much cheaper and convenient. Thanks ladies!
