Hi
I am just past 7 weeks post op. Before surgery I was a walker, or eliptical user. I would work out for months at a time and then get in a rut. Well since surgery I have been walking , started eliptical last week and I feel great!!! and am commited to a healthy life style. I have never been a runner, I feel so good I would like to start jogging (maybe with a goal of a 5k- I'll never be a marathon runner). SO my question how soon after surgery can I begin jogging-is it based on how I am feeling or do I need to wait the 12 weeks for my chest to be healed completely?
