Cleared for the elliptical
I got clearance from the PT on Friday to try exercising on the elliptical. I did 10 minutes yesterday and 15 minutes today. It definitely felt good to get some exercise in, but I can tell I’ve lost a ton of fitness. Hopefully my leg will cooperate and I’ll be able to keep using the elliptical until I can run again.
Annotated: Did 25 mins on Monday averaging 150 BPM (hit about 95% max HR towards the end). My resting HR is about 15-20 BPM higher than it was at the end of June, I’m curious how long it will take me to get back to the ~ 40 range.

Interesting stuff Bill. I will be waiting to hear how long it takes to the HR back down.
Also great that you are exercising. I know the meager amount I have been doing has helped my head during my injury.

I feel for you guys. Get well soon. Sounds like you’re on your way.
