I want abdominal workouts, but i have full spinal fusion?

Depends: it varies somewhat and I would not hesitate to consult your surgeon. In general, once a fusion is solidly healed, it is good to do abdominal "core" strengthening exercises to maintain your abdominal muscular tone and can give support to your adjacent discs.
