Can i exercise after a colonscopy?

Yup: Take it easy the first day. Then As long as your sedation has worn off and you are steady on your feet. You should really hydrate yourself up before though, because you are probably still a little dehydrated from the bowel prep.

Sure: I'm presuming this was a general screening colonoscopy which is an outpatient procedure. I would give it a day or two and if you feel ok you can likely resume your exercise routine.
