Can I do exercise with stitches in my leg?

On Thursday I accidentally cut myself on my right leg, infront of the shin bone, and had to get 6 stitches. They are healing pretty well, and I was wondering If tomorrow I could exercise. By this I mean sprints, pylometrics, and the following day a lowr body workout with squats, lunges, etc. Is this a good idea? My dad says it should be fine, and he’s a nurse, but he didnt get to see the wound. Thanks

No, better to wait for complete healing, because your exercises involve a lot of flexing of the legs and the wound may open.
