good luck
Yes, four weeks now since the first op and I'm ready to start getting back to fitness once again. It will be gradual, I won't do anything silly and certain styles of training will be no more i.e. the really heavy work. What's the point of that anyway at age 55?
Nope, starting tomorrow (Friday) I'm going more the cardio way. I plan to begin with some treadmill and bike work, maybe some cross-trainer stuff. Definitely now rowing though, as that would involve too much bending and 'crease up' the hernia wound too much.
Light weights will be on the agenda too, but I'm drawing the line at free weights for now, sticking to seated machine work and high reps. I think that will work quite well.
I do have some plans in place for when I'm completely free of these operations/recovery, and that is to venture outdoors for some field jogging. Jan 1st is my plan to start with all that.

You must be feeling like the turkey does just before Christmas!
Good luck with it anyway, hope it all goes well for you.

It's been a long, slow process but the worst is over with now. The second op comes soon and they tell me that it should be done via keyhole surgery which shouldn't be anywhere near as restrictive for me.
I went back to the gym yesterday so I'm gradually and tentatively getting my life back in order

One more operation next week and starting afresh from the new year. It's been a problematic 2020 to say the least!

You've got over, or are getting over having the one hernia fixed and if the other one is done keyhole it's reckoned to be very much less recovery time. Hope all goes well for you with that operation.

Ey? I'm still in 2019 Floydy.
You got a time machine?
Let's hope next year will straighten itself out | Thread Tools | |
