In may when I get my belly button pierced I am going to have to take a month off from the gym, I can probably still do arms and walking but anything that works my core too hard could hinder the healing process. After a month I can return to regular work outs but I will have to wear water proof bandages for 6-9 months while in the pool. So my belly button piercing will not look cute with a bikini in the pool until next year.
