18 months ago i was operated on for a perforated bowel,an incisional hernia repair followed about 10 months later and second repair happened six weeks ago so ive missed to much golf to think about. the only positive is that i had so much time on my hands that i found Lynns site!
ive been given the all clear that the operations gone as good as it can but incisional hernias are or can be recurrent. i want to start to make up for lost time but at the same time dont want to nd up back in surgery
Ive used pilates for core strength before but is this going to be to much to soon?
Wow, what a year you've had! And pilates should be fine if you have an instructor that understands the rehabilitative imperative that less is more as you begin. The biggest mistake I see in every modality of fitness is taking an injured and recovering individual and starting with a full blown program. The safest and most productive approach is to begin with a few predictable movements in a short period of time. Once your workout is 30 minutes then you begin to add movements one workout at a time until you've reached your full protocol. I know this is not how we all think. Most people go into the gym and start an hour with many sets and reps and often too much resistence. Get your body confidence back first and you'll feel much better in your process. As long as your doctor has given you the ok I would get started. I always suggest additional work but you have to start with the familiar. Good for you and welcome to the site. It's a dandy, don't you think? Vickie
