What is the best abdominal exercise for a person with umbilical hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Control the hernia: You can do situps if you can hold your hernia in while you strain. Don't do traditional situps but modified version to reduce strain. Also an option is to have the hernia repaired, wait a few weeks for healing - and then do whatever you want! :)
