How long before I can go to the gym?

While In the hospital the PT told me no treadmills, no walking in 32 F and under. Well, it's December in NH and it gets pretty darn cold lol

So I'm stuck? I need to walk, but no where to walk.

I tried waking inside the house, nope, I can't my 2 and 3 yr old want to follow me all over . Which I normally wouldn't care, but not when I'm trying to walk for 10 mi. YA know?

I need to get out and walk! I feel cabin fever setting in lol

Does your gym have an indoor track?

Do you have a mall close by? Even if you don't want to buy anything, you sure can get some good walking in by going the length of most malls

I would also ask about a mall or indoor gym. I know prior to being discharged from my surgery 11-4 I managed to walk 1/2 mile the day after surgery in the halls and a full mile the day I went home. I kept track with a fitness tracker I am not allowed in the gym until after my 12-22 apt with the dr. If all looks ok he will give me the gym green light but not before.
