The first item to think about before returning to an exercise routine is that most if not all colon surgeries will alter the type of exercise that you will be able to perform , that is safely. Before starting any exercise program, please consult with your Doctor or medical staff. If you are able to walk, then walking is the first exercise that you should undertake when returning from surgery. After returning to your home environment, you should be able to begin a daily regimine of walking. A good idea is to split your walking sessions into 2 -3 per day. A total of 10-20 minutes should suffice. After 3-4 weeks of walking and discussion with your medical team, you should be able to involve more type of exercises. But remember, the key to a successful long term recovery is to start slowly and with minimal stress on the abdominal area.
