Hello all
Just wondering if anyone could suggest a reasonable way to ease back into Cathe territory. I'm almost 10 weeks post-op from a sub-total hysterectomy and walked like a 'mad-woman' from 1 week post-op. Since returning to work, I'm too pooped to do anything fitness-wise, but now I'm bound and determined to get back to my pre-op fitness level. I did the pre-mix of step from Low Max on a lower step last week which was OK but then I did an ab workout from the ab tape... big mistake - sore, swelly, etc. Thought 'OK just stick to walking'
I'm trying to be patient with my body and listen to it but I miss my workouts with Cathe and just think of all the muscle mass that is slowly seeping away. Gawd! if only I had more energy! I know, Iknow, healing takes time and patience. But is there anyone out there who can reassure me that at some point in the next few months, I will be able to work out to the same intensity e.g. I think about #5 from Imax 2, again? When can I do the lower ab work without paying for it big-time with swelling,etc. the next day?
Sorry for the 'whine line'. Any suggestions will be much appreciated!
