30 minutes was all I could take on the elliptical which got me 3.4 elliptical miles, whatever that means.  As long as I didn't shift my weight, my hip didn't mind.  I don't think I got as good of an aerobic workout as running, but it crushed my quads which is good.  My legs were even shaking a little when I got off so I bet they'll be sore tomorrow.

Those machines crush your quads for sure. I really hope this is short-term for you, best of luck on your doctor appointment, hopefully you will get some solid information out of that.

Cool picture. Good luck.

You didn't go backwards, did you?

Burt, don't think I didn't see that comment a couple of days ago!

Hopefully you got a chuckle out of it instead of a - I'm gonna kill that guy next time I see him!

Haha - actually I did try it backwards toward the end (now that I know it's legit thanks to Flat) but it went kind of crazy - I don't think the resistance was working in reverse so I was basically holding on for dear life; I lasted about 30 seconds.

Of course! Besides, Jasro said they train the hams and glutes when you go backwards on them, so I'm sticking with him the next time I am at a party. You gonna run London next spring? I think I will try to get my crew to show up again, they all had a good time there. (Sorry Joe, off topic here)

From Burt on Wed, May 05, 2010 at 19:07:56 from 206.19.214.144

I probably will. I'm a creature of habit.

Ah yeah, I forgot what the elliptical did to quads. Although, funny thing, while it crushed the quads during the workout, I never felt much soreness the next day. Anyways, good luck with doc tomorrow--I'm eager to hear the verdict.

Hope the hip recovers soon. Swimming will be a good cross training routine while you are not running.

From Kelli on Thu, May 06, 2010 at 09:56:21 from 71.219.75.178

In my experience, I have to up the resistance when i go backwards. I do 10 minutes forward, 10 minutes backwards. Then my feet are asleep and I am done. BUT a super good workout. Does your gym have an ARC trainer? They are easier on the hips and killer on the legs.
