misstons 1,102 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Rowing.... are you trying to pop a tit? I’d just be sticking to a treadmill. A crosstrainer is the bounciest machine ever ? BAdelaide2017, donatella, I HaveBoobs and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I HaveBoobs 951 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I just did the treadmill , bike and recumbent bike ( where you pedal in front ) found the crosstrainer to bouncy like @misstons said and i didnt even go near the rower you use to much of your upper body still. I was allowed to do light weight leg work and only the pin loaded machines eg: leg press, seated leg curl, inner/ outer hip abduction, body weight (air) squats and lunges and did hip bridges for my glutes so nothing that would use my upper body at all. Not all on the same day either i picked 2- 3 exercises from the above and did about 30 min of light cardio rock#3 and sabP 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pink butterfly 1,511 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Listen to your surgeon's advice. But..........I would be avoiding any upper body or ab work for the first 3 to 6 weeks. The first 3 weeks I was only allowed to do walking. By the 4th week I was allowed to do light leg work and light ab work and jogging (but with 2 sports bras). Just be very careful. x PlatinumBlondeBoobs, sabP and I HaveBoobs 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlatinumBlondeBoobs 110 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Lovely Ladies Do a lot of walking this will help shed those extra calories while you are still recovering. Remember you have a huge investment that you are carrying around. Don't push to hard take your time. Huggs and Kisses (.)(.) PBB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thecuriousone 55 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Listen to your body. If you're feeling discomfort don't do it. I remember even slow walking was uncomfortable. Went back to the gym after 6 weeks and ate salads for 6 weeks! I did not gain weight and my skin never looked better from so many salads lol pink butterfly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
