Generally: I would wait 4-6 weeks for strenuous physical activity. Best to check with your surgeon.

Probably: Depending on the type of hernia repair you had, resumption of all normal activities can usually begin within 3-5 days. Aggressive straining and vigorous physical activity may be best postponed for up to 2 weeks. Consult your surgeon.
