exercise after breast aug

[laureny]

Hi guys just wondering if anybodys had any problems doing exercise after their implants?
My ps told me to wait 6 weeks and to be honest i neva did exercise anyway lol but i decided that i wanted to do a bit of exercise because although im really lucky and can eat what i want and not put weight on, iam unfit and get out of breath easily. lol so i just wanted to tone up really.
But one exericse i did was lie on the gym ball on my back and do fly overs with weights (weights by sides and pulling them across your chest) i carnt help but think thats why my breast has swollen up. my ps said no it wouldnt be that. But it has put me off doing it now!
I was just wondering what kinds of exercise every body does and how long after surgery they did it.. and if anyones had problems doing exercise after surgery?

lauren i dont excercise either But god knows i Need to... i would think that cant be too good to do just the way you do them... maybe youstarted to much to soon especially since you werent use to it???? walking isprob the best thing you can do .. get on a treadmill and use the incline to start with ..

When was your surgery? My PS would let me exercise for 7 weeks. When I did, he said start slow and wait another week on the upper body. I may have waited a little more. I listened to my body. If it didn't feel good, I didn't do it. I'd say give it a little more time for upper body. You can still do other things.

For me...I have always avoided doing any direct chest exercises. I just found it uncomfortable.
I do lower body exercises such as squats and lunges. For my upper body,I do biceps,triceps,shoulders and back. I also do some ab work. For cardio,I do my elliptical,walk and some interval cardio.

I was cleared at 6 weeks to workout. I was instructed to start out slow...I haven't had any problems....

[laureny]

My surgery was in feb and i didnt start exercising till probly may.. but yeh like vikki said maybe i did too much and my body wasnt used to it! I think i will stick to the lower body for now especially untill this swelling goes down. Il blank the chest exercises all together! thanks ladies!! x

Good idea lol

[Mel292]

I think that's a good idea!

[*tiff*]

No real problems, just more weakness in the beginning and different sensation when using my pecs now. Just take it easy when you start out and you should be fine!

Okay. So now I'm a little nervous that I won't be able to do chest exercises when I get my boobs after reading this. Cuz I have been planning on trying to become a deputy sheriff for a while now. I already took the written test but then my county went on a hiring freeze. So I just thought that I would get my boobs first and then go through the rest of the hiring process. But in the academy I would need to do alot of chest exercises, including push ups. So now I'm wondering if I will actually be able to do them after? I just need to get through 6 months of the academy and then I will never do them again :BigSmile: I will have to remember to ask my PS what he thinks about this when I see him on the 13th.

Shay you will be able to .. the reason she is having trouble with them is she never did them before and the way shes doing them will make anyones chest hurt without implants.. I do know that ...

Thanks Vikki. I feel better now. I actually don't do them now either, so I am not looking forward to having to do them :frown: But the academy is only 6 months, so I will just have to try to get through it I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be messing them up if I did them.

Youll be ok just dont start out trying to do them from on top of a ball.. ya know.... start out with just a few and build up....It will feel funny at first any type of excercise to your chest ... it gets better tho...

I started back into my exercinse routine around my 6 week mark. I just took it easy. I started jumping jacks and light weights aroung 8 weeks. I took my time… my mucles were pretty sore the first few days so I would take a day in between. The best adivice I can give is work into it slowly.. good luck!!

[laureny]

Yeahh id just ask your ps.. i think u will be fine! That might not be the reason why my breast swelled up, even my ps said it wouldnt have swelled up from exercise on my chest. but thats just what i thought!

Hey hon, I am a gym rat, haha. I was able to run at 7weeks, tried at 6 weeks but hurt!!! I wear 2 sports bras, which really helps. I can do everything except I can't use the ab machines, they kill my boobs and it is hard to do chest presses, my right implant feels too weird sometimes. Just try out the different machines and see what ones feel right. I didn't lift until like 2 months post op. Normal ab work felt weird until like 4 months. I would have to hold my boobs while doing them haha. Just start with light weights for the fly overs on the ball, that type of lifting is a little uncomfortable for me but I am sure for others it is fine. Good luck!

thanks alissa il do that

I waited the full 6 weeks. I went really slow and did mostly cardio and walking til I built my stamina.
In terms of weight for my chest I don't do no more than 5 pound weights, espeacilly if I'm concentrating on my chest. When I do arm exercises I can do more weights. I do find that sometimes my breast get swollen afterward even my tummy. I do enjoy them on the resistance ball. I listen to my body and if it hurts I stop. I would check different workouts for different muscles and right down what you would like to see change on your body. I believe everyone can benefit from exercise. HTH. PS Congrats!!!
