nikisa 29 Posted November 28, 2015 I miss being active and am thinking that I'd like to get back on my elliptical again. I'm 8 days post-op and feel pretty good. How soon after surgery did you try getting back to the elliptical or treadmill? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbg224 318 Posted November 28, 2015 My doc said 6 weeks before any bike riding, swimming, elliptical, etc. What does your doc say. Walking was all I could do, but because I have 2 bad knees, he let me go back to bike riding at 4 weeks. I am now at almost 4 months out and train 3 days a week, bike ride, walk in pool, and elliptical. Don't push it, time goes fast, you really want to heal before you do heavy exercise, walking is best if you can, my opinion, good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted November 28, 2015 How soon after surgery did you try getting back to elliptical or treadmill? @@nikisa we can tell you what our docs said in my case i had to wait 6 weeks to start exercising other people might have been allowed to go back sooner - or later the one thing we have in common is that we're all different talk to YOUR doc about when you can go back to exercising he might start you off slow, then say you can progress to harder machines et al doc is the one in the know for you always only listen to your doc/or NUT (or me!!! ) 8 day PO feeling pretty good?? that's great!! don't push yourself toooo hard doc will advise you good luck kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
