Can I ruin the muscle repair done with tummy tuck 7 weeks ago due to exercise on an elliptical?

Asked By:Mom0300 in Marana, AZ

I've been exercising daily on my elliptical for the last 3 wks. I work out about 45 mins daily and have turned up the resistance slightly, nothing close to what I was doing pre-op. However, I feel a lot of soreness in my abs, especially first thing in the morning. I just want to be sure that I'm not hurting or ruining my muscle repair somehow?? Is it normal and ok to feel such soreness from simply exercising on an elliptical?
