CrossFit and implants

[ragingbull]

After the healing period, is CrossFit generally advised against for someone with an implant? If not contraindicated, which specific types of exercises should be avoided let's say after 3 months?

You can do pretty much whatever you want to, BUT impact sports should be played with a great degree of care and concern.(Tackle football, MMA, Boxing)
Remember, you have new parts that don't naturally heal if broken.
As for CrossFit, I see no problem whatsoever because to the best of my knowledge nothing is being struck on your body.

I am an Avid outdoorsy fellow and rack up anywhere from 20-30 miles a week hiking.
I've swam
Lightly jogged( Hip replaced)
Bicycled
Hit a heavy bag/speed bag
Jumped rope

....If I pondered a while longer I'm sure I've done some other things.

Oh, I forgot- I did DDP Yoga also(Highly recommended-Great stuff!)

Never had a problem with any of them.

Still, run that past your Doctor.
There may be something he would want to be restricted.

Best wishes.

That's very helpful. Thank you HikerMan!

I do juijitus with mine. But i have to deflate to the max, then bend it towards my butthole a bit and tuck it a bit, and wear two pair of tights that are each two sizes small. that keeps everything snug and in place and safe.

I find that any type of cycling, for me, is not comfortable. But I hated it before anyway.

Hope these opinions help a little.
