Question

Well I just got back from getting my navel pierced. The piercer told me that I cannot do my workout routine until about 3 or 4 weeks from now....what can I do to ensure I dont gain any weight during those times while I am not working out? I mean, I am going to do walking and still limit my calories. And suggestions?

NOTE: To those wondering: The reason I cant excersise is because I have a condition where my body doesnt heal properly, so they have to make sure the piercing is completely healed before resuming my excersisng.

Answer 1

do lower body and upper body exercises, but stay away from abdominal exercises.

Answer 2

what IS your workout? I just stopped crunching 4 a couple of days. Put a bandage over it so it doesnt snag. That just sounds wrong... I still worked out after breast reduction, childbirth and broken leg. Kick boxing I think would be out of the question though...

Answer 3

I have known several people, that have belly rings, they were never told not to exercise, just clean the area with salt water several times a day for six weeks, and watch for any sighns of infection, but I don't see why you can't exercise.

Answer 4

You can do simple aerobics.
All you have to do is put on some music you like and wave your arms around and do some dance steps - sort of like doing disco. If moving your arms is uncomfortable then just do the foot work.
