When to exercise (yoga and pilates)?
Hello All,
I saw my doctor for my first fill at about 6 weeks. When I asked him how long till I could do Yoga and Pilate's he said about 6-8 weeks. I was at 6 weeks and he said my port was still very swollen.
I saw my primary a week later and asked him, he said at least 8 weeks.
It will be 8 weeks on September 11th. They both said sex was okay, but nothing specific as to what type of exercise besides walking. I have CFS & Fibromyalgia, so walking is out of the question.
How long have other people waited? Is anyone else doing yoga or Pilate's?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
I was doing the stationary bike at the gym at two weeks. Can you do that?

Well, it will be two months next week. I'll start with yoga and then the Pilate's. I have a Pilate's reformer, so I should be able to control how much strain it puts on my core.
Wow, 20lbs to your goal weight. That's fantastic.
I don't use the stationary bike any more. I just ride my real back out in the real outdoors. I've turned into a real outdoors person these days and do hardly any exercises in the gym.

I am so glad to hear you are out and riding your bike. Exercising in the gym starts to feel like work.
I don't think I can even ride a bike anymore. It took me 13 years to learn how, and my balance is terrible. Hence the no driving.
Nature offers it's own rewards, it's so relaxing.
I was back in the gym in about ten days for half an hour on the stationary bike and half hour with weights of 10 lbs or less. Within two weeks I resumed pilates. Everything was at my own pace, no classes.
I have ms, chronic pain, and fatigue. Walking outdoors is not an option for me but there were no problems exercising indoors early post op.
