- 60 minute cycling class, heart rate 155-170 (mostly 160's)
- 15 minutes elliptical, heart rate 165-170
- achilles exercises/stretches
I'm definitely starting to notice a difference now that I've tweaked my rehab program, I'm hoping it continues to progress at this rate. It's funny because I asked a million questions at the first appointment and went away with the impression that I should be more on the gentle side, but really what they wanted was consistent and aggressive (but careful) loading of the achilles each day (see yesterday's post). So now I stretch much deeper and drop/lift faster on the exercises and use more resistance on the elliptical and bike (without standing up - that loads my achilles too much right now).
Operation Rehab continues!
