You had major surgery 5 days ago and you went to Zumba? Is this something your doctor said was okay? Mine was the 6 th and today I started back to yoga.

Why ar you working out so soon? Did your doc ok that? Most patients are on a 6 week restriction, and have to get the docs ok before starting an exercise routine. check with your doc and your stomach is trying to tell you something.

Of course it hurt! That's some hardcore activity. I'm surprised you're not feeling like you've been hit by a mack truck by now. I'm impressed that you had that much ambition so early. Now take it easy and give yourself a couple of weeks without Zumba.

Thats what i was told. That I had to wait 6 weeks after my surgery to return to Tae kwon Do, and its not as hardcore as Zumba

Your surgery need to heal before you do Zumba. Try walking or water aerobics, at a mild pace. Yes your gut would hurt--your in the healing process. Do something else for mild exercie for the first 6 weeks or so. Yes, you'll need to exercise, but Zumba so soon after surgery is kind of crazy. DAVE

I'm surprised you didn't pass out! You're body needs to heal before you can do a strenuous activity like that. Give yourself a break!
