You Could Tear Open Incisions
If you are a die-hard athlete or bodybuilder, then it may be a challenge for you to stay away from lifting weights every day. However, no matter how small the weights may be, you should stay away from them because you could tear open your incisions. Once your incisions are opened, you are more prone to getting bacteria inside and getting an infection— and you also have to have them stitched back up.
You Could Slow Down Your Recovery Time
Even though you may think that a few days after surgery you are ready to head back to the gym or even go on a run, it’s important that you follow our instructions and avoid exercise for at least a week or two. If you push your body too hard when it’s not quite ready, you could do reverse damage and slow down your body’s ability to heal on time. By giving your body a break it needs for the right amount of time. However, you can be back at the gym before you know it.
