Question:
Will I be able to use the ski machine in the gym @ work at 2 wks post-op?

In the gym at work there is a ski type machine (it is a cross between a ski and stair stepper with handel bars) just wondering if I should be able to use at 2wks post op..It seems very low impact to me...as a pre-op...    — Lesa P. (posted on August 9, 2001)

Hi Lesa. I really doubt you'll be healed enough to put that much stress on your incision(s). My surgeon doesn't recommend any type of serious exercise (besides walking) until about 4-6 weeks post op.

The best thing to do is ask your doctor. Mine didn't want me to do anything for 6 weeks except walking.
