A member asked:
Can you tell me if there are ab exercises i can do with my having a hiatal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Should be able to do all exercises with a hiatal hernia. Avoid eating several hours before exercise. Do not hold your breath and strain during exercises. Walking, stairs, running and swimming are also exercises that use the abdominal muscles too.
