A member asked:
Is it ok to lift weights with a small sliding hiatal hernia?

Clear it: with your physician first. Isolated leg and arm muscle exercises should be OK, but avoid clean and jerks, power lifts or any lifts that involve the abdominal muscles or stress the core. The pressure could strangulate your intestine and put you in the hospital.
