Following a rehabilitation protocol set by a Physical Therapist is best for post-op rehabilitation.

please get clearance from your surgeon to do exercise, then get a referral to physical therapy
After a hip replacement, walking is an excellent exercise for hip replacements. It's important to walk with good mechanics and increase endurance as comfort allows.
