Pain in lower legs?

Hello, is it possible to do an abs workout if I have an umbilical hernia that I was born with? It doesn't have pain or anything of that sort.

Great question. The answer is yes, you can do abdominal workouts, but the hernia may grow in size, and eventually cause pain and discomfort. Surgical repair is a mild procedure, and done as an outpatient in almost all cases.
Consult a Surgeon.
