Training after Sparc procedure

angelsnow Posts: 122 Joined: 2003/02/11	2007/05/19, 08:07 PM Hi Guys , I had the sparc procedure(for those who don't know what that is , it is to help stop stress incontinence) done about 7 weeks ago still have to go to the doctor for my final clearance . I have to say the procedure was successful , I can now run ,dance sneeze and laugh without embarrassment. The down side however from what I have read the maximum that I will ever be able to lift is is 20lbs. I have been away from any kind of weight trainging for 2-3 years. What I have started doing is walking /jogging(jogging:) ) on a trail that is up and down and has steps ..doing a few incline push ups and non weighted squats.. what I would like is if someone could hlep me with a full body non weighted program (for now) and incorporate this into my daily walk jog... thanks snowangel
