Hi girls,

I like to do weights In the gym and wondered if I should stop doing my chest now pre op? Little thought came into my head ( probably silly) that because I'm having unders that It be a lot harder for the PS to get them in if my chest muscles are tight/tonned if you get me!

Can anyone relate??? Or am I mad! Lol

Great!!! I'm at the gym now and was about to do a chest and back work out and hoped Id have replies before hand! Lol

You're great!! Thanks so much.

Oh and I'm totally worried about 6 weeks and no gym especially as my BA is just before Christmas!! Lots of wrapped up walks for sure!

While we're on the topic...any tips on getting rid of that stubborn bit on your lower stomach? As much a I work out I can't shift that little bump! Lol xx It maybe a weeked alchole bump though ha ha. X

Babe don't worry bout the 6 weeks off trust me you won't feel like it! Anyhow it's good o give your body a rest every so often. After your recovery you will feel ready to go back and muscle memory is great, you will find build it back up gently and within weeks/ months you'll be back to however you were before. So don't worry!

Lower abs, there's loads of exercises, leg raises holding a weight, v sit ups, the plank is a fantastic overall core, stomach strengthenr , plank then bringing knees into chest. But if it's stubborn fat then cardio and diet will make that come off! Xx

Thanks honey, I must keep that in mind when Im recovering and not get hung up it. Just remember that I will get back to it when my body is ready, plus be a little more conscious of my diet when not exercising for that period!!

I can see where my down fall is then, Im useless at V sits and leg raises! Must start practicing those and then maybe I'll start seeing a different....All my Ab work outs are upper abs or obliques. Thanks for the advice thank you
