Ease yourself back into excercise.

David Rankin, MD answers: Best exercises after Tummy Tuck and Liposuction?

I had Tummy Tuck with Liposuction 6 weeks ago. What are the best exercises after these procedures?

I agree that 6 weeks is the magic number with  a tummy tuck where you can resume normal exercise. I am a bit more conservative on actual doing any abdominal work (sit-ups) until 3-4 months post op. I would start with very general and light cardio and then work your way slowly back to weights. Let your body be your guide and if you feel pain, slow way down.
