X trainer

[suebland]

I am 2 and half weeks post op and was wondering if I would be ok going the x trainer I have hired?? Any ideas folks.. Wishing everybody a lovely day x

Just go steady, the arm action on the cross trainer might make you twist! I was back at the gym after 2 weeks but stuck to the treadmill.

Hope you have a lovely day too x

Thanks mazza x

My gym instructor advised me not to use the cross trainer until at least 8 weeks post op as the slight twisting motion can put stain onto the healing internal wounds. Just be careful if you do go ahead.

Anyone got any advice about swimming? I'm 3.5 weeks post op, wounds healing fine and I'm itching to start swimming again! Xx

Hi Sophie

The wounds have to be completly healed over before you go swimming, think of all the horrid things people do in the pool - you dont want to risk getting and infection.

6 weeks is the norm for swimming x
