[QUOTE="Annie, post: 2997969, member: 42224"] Where are you guys?? Doc will only let me do so much resistance and weight-bearing training in a week. Walking is considered a weight-bearing exercise for people who have a fusion. 1 and 1/2 miles a day is my limit, for as long as I am doing PT every day. :grumble: That ain't gonna work. So ... yesterday I finally got the okay to use a stationary bike. I did HIIT on it yesterday for an hour. JEEZ ... I'm not sure I have sweated so much in my life. That is a serious workout. :shocked: I was spent but it felt GREAT!! So ... today, after walking my 1 1/2 mile at the park, and then going and doing my PT after I thought "Hey!! Let's go ride the bike at the gym!!":w000t: Did the hour long HIIT training again and then decided to see what I had left in me. Wound up doing a other hour, starting at 6 resistance and knocking it down a number every 10 minutes, til I got to 2 and then just kept my heart rate at a nice light 100-120 for the last 20 minutes. So ... I did my first 20 mile ride. It was a blast! I see a new addiction.:woohoo1: Then I came home, took a shower and a nice long nap! :o I gotta work out a plan, since I'm kinda winging it right now. Today was the first day since I got out of the hospital that I've gotten more than 8-900 calories down me, and I'm pretty sure this is the first day I've gotten the carbs I need otherwise there is NO way I would have had the energy to ride that long, especially doing the HIIT program in the machine. I get an awful lot of my nutrients from supplements right now because every time I try to eat solid food my throat still swells. (I had 4-5 bites of meatloaf and mashed potatoes 2 nights ago and if I hadn't already experienced that little adventure to the ER I wouldn't have known what was going on until it was too late. As it was, I stopped eating, took some meds to relax those muscles and some antihistamine to combat the swelling. It worked. Didn't wind up at the ER again. Guess I'll just try something soft once a week until I can eat without trying to kill myself. But DAMN what I would give for a steak right now! :explode: I'm having a BLAST! It's one thing to exercise because you know you need to, but you know it's gonna makes you hurt worse than when you started. It's quite another to feel better when you come out than you did when you went in AND know you aren't gonna wind up paying for it the rest of the day. Sorry for the yakkity-yak. It's just I'm still not used to feeling good!! I can't even imagine how much better it will be when I can actually eat RIGHT and get some SERIOUS training in.:mosh: [/QUOTE]
