I found some abdominal exercises on the Coloplast website...Core 4. Does anyone do there? Any issues? Thanks

I just got an email today from StealthBelt that had various things on it…..stomach exercises, leak tips, etc. Not sure if it’s on their site or not.

Hi Sally,  I started with these a few months after getting my colostomy, but have since progressed to some slightly more aggressive ones, like planks and leg lifts, but these are a great way to start to strengthen your abdominals, which will help prevent hernias.

Yes I do more advanced one's now....there nice and safe one's to start with most can start doing them within days of surgery with guidance from ostomy nurses/Dr....core exercises are the best thing we can do to try and prevent a hernia much more important than support ware/belts
