wondering

I had the gastric sleeve surgery 10/25, I have been wanting to start my 30 day shred video, but am wondering at 4 weeks out is it ok to do jumping jacks? and crunches? I have been walking 3.1 miles for 3 days now but want to start that shred video

I think it's early for abdominal work.  What does your doctor say?  -margaret

You should ask your doctor's office for their reccomendation on when you can start anything more than walking.

i was cleared for running (similar impact as jumping) at 2 weeks but couldn't do it comfortably until 4 weeks. Listen to your body. If you go out too early it will kick your butt.

i was also told 6 weeks on any weight training and longer (like 3 months) for ab work. They don't want you straining anything.

You just had major internal surgery. While I'm a BIG fan of exercise give yourself some time to heal.

I was able to bike sooner than anything else. Certainly something else to do.

keep it up!
