I am 35 and had open-heart surgery for a new pulmonary valve three weeks ago (August 4th). Before the surgery I enjoyed lifting weights. I know that I cannot (doctor's orders) lift anything over 5 lbs., or even jog, but is there anything that I can do to continue working out? My wife and I talked about me doing curls with 2.5 lbs. weight (alot of curls), but is there anything that I can do for my chest/shoulders/back, or am I pretty much stuck waiting to be cleared by the Doctor? Thank you.
