I wonder if anyone could help? I am an unenthusiastic exerciser- have previously done c25k and can still run 5k in a reasonable time, but more recently have joined and enjoyed a weights based gym. I was going 2-3 times a week and have stuck at it longer than anything I've tried previously.
I work ft,2 kids and a shift working dh, so classes at set times are our for me- the appeal of running and weights was that I could squeeze in 45 mins at 2-3 random times a week most weeks.
I have recently had an op to correct an anneuyrism near my spleen. All seems to have gone well but I was advised not to exercise for 6 weeks. I am now feeling flabby and lazy, went back to gp who said I should still be cautious- no abdominal work, absolutely no running because of the impact. I have referred nerve pain in my shoulder so no lifting.
I have no clue what to do! GP suggested brisk walking and I was a bit like ffs - can't imagine doing it without wanting to break into a run, and also it's not really going to have the same impact as what I was doing before.
Can anyone recommend anything that's going to keep me fit/work on regaining lost muscle tone without doing myself a damage?
Thank you!
