Leg Exercises

[alpals]

I recently had an operation and have an open wound on my abdomen so I have to be very careful regarding exercise. Does anyone know of a good exercise for legs that won't affect my abdominal muscles?

You need to look for "isolation exercises" ...

... those which work specific muscle areas, without bringing other muscle groups into play.

A lot of resistance machines will do it, but I don't know what, if any, exercise machines you have access to.

Try Googling the separate parts of your leg (thigh, calf, hamdtring) followed by "isolation exercise"

just throwing it out there ... what about walking - with sticks if necessary

also didn't the physio give you any clues - ring your surgery

you really don't want to esperiment ... if you get it wrong it could be all over ...

Hmm....i was going to suggest dropping a medicine ball from a great height onto your stomach,but then i read your question...
