how long does it take to go back to the gym after having a csection? Can you bike? Can you lift weights?

Hi im probably going to have a c-section this time b/c i carry the HSV. im dreading it b/c im an active person and i know its major surgery and takes a while before you heal . I want to know from women with past c-sections how long it took them when they started being active again whether it was a the gym or some kind of sport they love to play. I love to cycle outdoor and i also do alot of indoor spinning. Im hoping i can cycle indoors at least after two weeks. They usually say to wait 6 weeks but for my first, i wnet back ot the gym after two weeks, I was sore but i took things really slow and didnt do any abdominal exercises for a while. But i was able to do walking and other low impact exercises. I had vaginal birth back then. Please be honest with your answers and also let me know if its safe to do biking since its just sitting upright. Thanks
