 I am excited to take spinning classes and work out on the eliptical. What are some other exercises that doesn't work there core? I'm not supposed to work the core for six months.

YAY for you for taking a big step to a lifetime commitment to healthy living.

When you say work the core - do you mean ab specific exercises?  I really enjoy my spinning class twice a week and I take Zumba twice a week and really enjoy getting my groove on, but there is use of the abs when we swivel our hips and such but it is not ab specific.

Spinning and eliptical are great workouts!

I am creating my own revolution and PAMdemonium reigns!

I joined the gym at 3 months post-op. I have no restrictions....they encouraged lots of cardio and resistance exsercise.I could bearly move for two days when I started and now love it! Good Luck!

I haven't heard the not working the core for 6 months before.

You should be able to do most cardio and maybe some upper body weights.
