I had second hernia .My doctor advised that i should not do any exercise affecting lower abdoman.Cycling and Scooter ride not good.Other exercises like fast walking running etc can be done.Best way is to approach a fitness trainer to choose the right exercise to shape body without affecting your lower abdoman.Tell him that you had hernia twice.

Really depends? Do you do it  atleast 3 times a week for 30 min or more and get your heart rate above your optimum cardio rate for your age? If your doing all this then keep it up and you'll def tone up in the areas your using! Good luck and "tone up" for me while your at it!!!

That's a lot of cardio!  I usually only do 20 minutes four times a week.  What I find fun is an elliptical machine.  These are at all gyms.  I usually bring my iPod or plug my headphones into the TV so I can watch that.  Do something that takes your mind off of you exercising.

Have you asked your cardiologist what he or she suggests? The water aerobics thing is a good form of exercise but what was to happen if you passed out...in the pool?! Good luck to you!

My husband has an ICD. After he recovered his doctor told him he could resume his usual activities as tolerated. Losing weight is a good idea. You should discuss types of exercise, frequency, etc. with your doctor. It won't do you any good if you push to far, too fast and hurt yourself. Then you would have to start all over after you've recovered.

It depends on your age and the extent to which you are immobilized.  Ask your doctor and/or your physical therapist for advice.\n\nGet well soon!

Definitely some moderate Cardio Exercise...Like riding a bike, a brisk walk...jogging, swimming. Just getting active and drinking plenty of h20 helps me!

Yes, these exercises can be very helpful, and they are good for your general level of areobic fitness too.\n\nFirst of all, you are rigt to ask what is the proper way to do it, since you can strain your muscles and even injure yourself if you don't do it right. It is difficult to explain here (though I am sure one of the other answerers will do it) Probably it would help to see illustrations of how to do it, and I'm sure there are websites you could check in to, or buy or rent a video or DVD on fitness, made by one of the countless stars that keep producing them!!\n\nBest of all would be to join a gym or a fitness class, that way an expert would demonstrate and would help you to learn the exercises. They will also teach you other exercises that will help your general fitness, and will tell you how to warm up properly.\n\nIf you have to do it at home, my advice is:\n\n1. Do a good warm up first. If you don't know any warm up exercises, just move gently around for a while, stretching your arms and legs.\n\n2.Do the exercise on an empty stomach - you can injure yourself internally if you attempt stomach exercises less than an hour after eating. Best to exercise in the morning, not last thing at night.\n\n3 Make sure you take little sips of water to re-hydrate afterwards. Or a drink like Lucazade sport.\n\n4.Put your favourite music on - it really helps, exercises at home can be boring, but the music will make it more fun.\n\n5.Start with no more than five sit ups or crunches - work up gradually, or you will be so stiff the next day it will put you off trying again!!\n\nGood luck!!

Yeah, I was in a horrible accident, and I got into martial arts incidentally as part of my rehab(funny story for another day). Anywho, at that time, i had been in a hospital bed for months and months and unable to eat regular food, so I was a total lard ass. I went into that bad at 215(i'm a 6ft ex-football player) so i was in decent shape, and i came out of that bed weighing around 285. Needless to say I was bigtime out of shape, and i could barely move. Anywho, as part of my rehab i was doing lots and lots of stretching. 1-2 hrs a day. Following Tom Kurz's instruction (recomend the book or the DVD .. i stole em of DC++ but you can buy if you want). To Sum up here.. was a total fatty for a bit there and i could do the side splits as a fatty after just a bit over 2 months weighing 265 and being by no means thin. Just gotta work at it every day, remember to warm up before you stretch to get your blood flowing, stretch all antagonistic muscles before you do your splits, and breath slowly and deeply during stretching.

Be very conscience of your salt intake and drink lots of water.  Ask Doc when it is safe to start exercising again and try to get back into it as soon as possible.

That is such a major surgery that i would be carefull taking any advice from the internet. It's not the common cold question. you should ask your physician who will probably make that determination based on your individual case. People heal at different rates. It probably wouldn't be wise to base your actions on someone elses experience. Especially not knowing their health background and such. I'm sure if you called your doctor tomorrow then he/she will be able to tell you.

my aunt had it done 10 years ago.  unfortunately she relies on an oxygen tank and can barely walk up stairs.  She is 60.  Sad, but she has emphysema.. diagnosed at 40.

It would be good cardio.  Anywhere from 45 min. to an hour is a good amount of time. The type of exercise you do depends on what type of results you are looking for.
