Question regarding workouts

To all you ladies who have had your BA's and went under the muscle... How did you get back into your workouts for your upper body!? It doesn't hurt when I flex my chest muscles... But it just feels awkward and kinda scary. For example at the park they have the zip lines you hold onto and slide across the bar... Or just hanging on a bar or monkey bars! I'm afraid to flex my muscle to hold my body weight :s I never thought of this being an issue. I am afraid if I flex to hold my weight I will rupture the implant or hurt myself lol probably all in my head... Any tips/advice/suggestions?
I will talk to my PS on my next visit but its not for a couple more weeks

Insanity!

So last night was my first workout with Insanity Post Op... OMG! I got thru it but thought I was going to die from lack of oxygen haha I am so out of shape! It's sad. But overall it went well. My new editions were tucked away in a nice tight sports bra for max support. So there was no real pain boobage wise. A little uncomfortable at times but mainly because I'm not use to flexing my chest muscles with the implants yet... Not painful just odd and somewhat gross feeling cuz it's a new sensation. The only things I left out of the workout was the push ups and Burpees . Instead I stayed on the ground in a plank position. Can't wait to hit my next workout!!

Pics! Just over one month Post Op :)

sorry it took me so long to get new pics up!
I have been really slow about getting into my workout routine again. I feel sluggish a lot haha. I am very happy with the size and shape so far. I will admit ...here and there I do get a little bit of boob greed and think....hmmmm maybe I should have gone HP or something... but I think this was the best decision for me. I am still able to hide them or show them off. they definitely look bigger when im topless! However I expected that... I feel as though I basically just had the PS give me a semi permanent double cup bra since I look the same in my clothing as when I would wear my bombshell! however now I have cleavage to go with it :) overall no real complaints. If I had to have one it would be that me left nipple is still really numb. and the right is hypersensitive! but at least I can get the left one hard so I know I havnt lost all sensation and with time I am sure it will come back! I will be overjoyed once I snap back into my workout and diet routines and can start building back some abs...... I was a bad bad girl after surgery as far as diet went :S Hope all you other ladies are healing well!!!
