Best Leg Exercises to Do After a Mastectomy at the Gym

Just had surgery and unsure how to get back in the gym? Here are essential leg exercises that are safe and effective! 💪

After a mastectomy, it’s crucial to approach workouts with care. You might feel uncertain about what exercises are safe, but I’m here to guide you through it.

Start with low-impact cardio like walking or using a recumbent bike—avoiding pressure on your upper body.

When you hit the gym, focus on key movements:

- Bridges & Hip Thrusts: Great for glutes and super adjustable!

- Squats: Use machines for support and avoid heavy weights.

- Leg Extensions: Perfect for isolating quads without stress on your upper body.

- Seated Hamstring Curls: Target hamstrings comfortably.

These exercises help rebuild strength and prevent future injuries. Remember, always listen to your body and progress at your own pace.

Stay strong, friends! 💖
