Can I Workout the Day Before Surgery?
I'm currently personal training and have surgery scheduled for next Wed. My trainer wants to train Monday and Tuesday before I am going to be down for awhile. Is this okay? The workouts are pretty intense and I want to make sure I'm not taking away from my body's ability to heal. Thank you!

Workouts before surgery

You want to be well rested, hydrated and comfortable. Showing up tired, dehydrated and sore, will not help the experience. Tiredness decreases your body's endorphins (pain killers), dehydration leads to more post-operative nausea and in the worse case low blood pressure problems, and preoperative muscle pain...
