A member asked:
Is it ok to do burpees with an inguinal hernia? just 50 to 100 a day. ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: I would be concerned about that. Burpees induce a lot of intra-abdominal pressure. If the inguinal hernia is reducible, it may be ok but if not, i would be concerned. The number of burpees doesn't matter. Even one burpee if it causes enough pressure at the right spot can cause strangulation of bowel in the hernia sac. Best to get the hernia repaired and discuss with your surgeon.

Yes : Not sure what a burpee is, but let your symptoms be your guide for exercise. If it hurts, ease off.
