Can I exercise & sit on the floor after a hip replacement surgery?

It is vital to follow certain precautions regarding your replaced hip's range of motion for the initial 3 months post your total hip replacement procedure. 

Following these precautions will reduce the possibility of getting a hip dislocation to a bare minimum of less than 1%. 

Your total hip replacement is extremely stable. 

Hence you don't need to worry unnecessarily about these precautions. 

However, you must remain aware of them and follow them preferably for the initial 3 months after undergoing the procedure. 

These precautions are as under:

1) Whenever you are sitting or sit or stand, keep your knees at a shoulder's distance from each other.

2) In case you are already in a sitting position, don't lean in a forwarding direction to pick anything from the ground. You are no longer required to follow even these instructions, at the end of three months. After 3 months of hip replacement surgery, you can cross your legs while sitting on the ground or in a sleeping position.
