Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
You can usually resume normal exercise and abdominal workouts within two weeks of the surgery, depending on your physical condition.
Walking is usually encouraged immediately following hernia repair surgery to prevent muscle atrophy and decrease your risk of developing a blood clot.
You should avoid certain exercises for at least a couple of weeks following hernia surgery. This includes any exercise or activity that places excessive strain on your abdomen. Exercises such as rowing or activities requiring pushing or pulling resistance weights are not advised. Lifting heavy weights closes off your throat as you lift, causing undue pressure on the hernia repair site.
Water exercises and swimming are ideal abdominal exercises because the water can help to hold the incision and weakened abdominal walls in place.
You should follow the advice of your doctor about when to resume your regular abdominal exercises and other activities.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
