40 mins procore elliptical.

I think I finally found a XT that doesnt hurt/impact my hip (pool running hurts, other ellipticals/bike dont feel good and leave it achey)!!!! The procore ones, where you can adjust the ramp so it targets certain muscles over others. Glutes is best for me, because Im already weak in that area, and it takes all the impact off my upper quads, which tends to pull on my hip.

Obviously kept it relatively short; 40 mins seems like the limit for getting a workout, but not feeling achey the next day.

Long stretch and some planking: 2 mins normal, 2 mins side-planks each side.

that was also my xt machine of choice when i was injured. it just felt the best and didn't aggravate anything. the machine i used had stationary handles, so i just pumped my arms in a running motion -- pretty close to the real thing. :)

i hope the recovery process is going well and that you are feeling better each day! just keep being smart and patient and you'll be back at it before you know it.

Awww, thanks Allie. It helps to hear from people who've been through injuries and come back even stronger. When was yours? I'd love to go back and look through your recovery/comeback training.
