Crosstrainer

IVE JUST GOT A CROSSTRAINER FOR THE FAMILY AND WOULD LIKE TO START USING IT. I HAVE BOTH HIPS REPLACED AND AM VERY OVER WEIGHT. WOULD IT BE A GOOD IDEA?

if your more than 6-8 weeks since op and no issues then I dont see why not but take it easy if you have not done any exercise for a while The worst thing is to over do it and then put yourself off

I asked my surgeon (when I was 6 weeks post op) if I could use a cross trainer and he said yes. Brace yourself though, I only managed a few minutes the fist few days, it’s harder than it looks :hot_face:

Gilly,

It is a great idea, I went back on mine at about eight weeks post op. Take it easy until you get used to it, I would suggest having it near a TV so you do not get disheartened also, it will past the time far quicker. Good luck.
