Yes, you can do gym exercises and Zumba, but with proper care and guidance. Light to moderate workouts are safe and can help improve strength, posture, and flexibility. Avoid heavy weight lifting, excessive bending, or sudden twisting movements of the spine. Focus more on stretching, core strengthening, and controlled exercises. If you feel pain or discomfort, stop the activity and consult a nearby orthopedician immediately.
