which exercise program?
permalink
Has anyone done tai chi or forza after lap band? Pilates? yoga? What are some good exercise programs to start with? What about later? When can you start aerobic types? How soon after surgery can you start anything other than walking, which I plan to do tons of. Water aerobics? Spinning? Just wondering where to start after leading a sedentary life with fibro.

I sugest starting out small and working up to what you want to do.
You may not be able to do a whole Tai-chi class but you can do what you can. then next time you can do more.
I think you are suposed to take it easy for the first 6 weeks after surgery then when your dr gives you the ok you can do more.
