Hi I had a op 2 weeks ago (nothing major!) - I'm recovering very well and now feel ready to introduce some gently exercise (this is ok with my doc). Can anyone suggest some gentle exercises please? Even if it's suggesting some moves I can do while sitting down or standing up - anything really! lol
Thank you :)

    There's lots of walking videos out there, and probably lots of lower impact stuff, too. Try a Google search or search on YouTube. Yoga, Pilates and swimming are other good ideas, too.

    What about walking on the treadmill or outside, if you are able to walk? Or is it strength-training exercises you are looking for? If so what about squats, lunges, stuff like that, using your own body weight for resistence?

    BTW I love the kitty in your profile picture!

    lol! Thank you she's called Comfort! haha! She already had the name when I adopted her. I forgot to mention the only thing I can't do is go swimming just yet for another 4 weeks. - Thanks everyone :0)
