New Week...
My hip is definitely getting stronger. I cant wait to see what my Hip Doctor says on Feb 18th. Hopefully I am cleared to go back to running.
Monday-rehab day..stretching, some weights, and stupid planks..lol
Tues, Thurs and now Saturday-Swim 1 mile..got my time down to 41 minutes..trying to get in to below 40...swimming is so technical..you improve one thing and it helps cut time off..its just so much to think about in the water.. (***Edit***--so today (Thursday) didn't work out so good..yesterday I was doing squats on a machine, and Im short so I have to stand up on my tippy toes or go way down to put the bar back on the rack..well I stood up and thought the bar was in the rack so I stepped up..yep, it wasn't..straight down on my lower back..so today I just sat in the hot tub and steam room at the gym..ughhh)
Wed and Friday-Elliptical, stationary bike, weighted squats, lunges and other leg workout
Sunday-35 min elliptical, 15 min bike, 1 mile swim and leg workout..try to kill it for 3 hours on Sunday afternoon..

Hi! To my mind, both ways can be effective, so, you need to try both and understand, which one of these - cycling or walking works best for you. You can start from walking. Normally, a person should walk for about 10 thousand steps a day, it's approximately 5 miles. Then, gradually, try to increase this number. There are even special fitness trackers that count the number of steps you've walked, the number of calories you've burnt, your heart beating and so on. A good way to start keeping track of your activities.
The same story with cycling, you can buy a bike and commute to work on a bike instead of using public transport. Or you can buy an exercise bike and train, without leaving your apartment.
All in all, I suppose the idea is clear. Good luck!

I stumbled upon this old thread but still decided to ask how have you been doing?
Biking ten miles per day sounds intense and should lead to impressive results I presume. I'm asking this because I decided to try the same here. I also own a Schwinn but it's a hybrid bike as mentioned here. Will it be enough for this?
Post from cabin111 was really helpful but still.
i was able to get most of my training in last week but not all of it and that is ok. Life will go on
Monday swim and if time a work out in the gym
Tue work out in gym or bike ride on the trainer
wed nice and early swim and if the energy there a work out later in the day in the gym if not bike ride
Thursday a run
friday barre class and strength training
saturday run or bike
sunday run for sure
Hope you get your wish about the Rehab.Sounds like you are really coming along

Monday-Rehab
Tues and Thurs-1 mile swim
