how about some fast but low resistance work on an ellitical? Especially if you alternate some faster and slower intervals and do some time, it will get your heart rate.

Good idea! I tried this a few weeks back and had a lot of pain the rest of the day. The resistance was set as low as it would go and I wasn't going very quickly - but things have improved since then. I will ask the PT about this Monday.

Pool walking, if you are comfortable with this given that you can't swim? maybe check with your PT and see if this is advisable given your injury. I know several people with hamstring injuries and sciatica who could pool run w/o aggravating their injury

I just saw this for some reason, let's make a date out of this Originally Posted by jessmarimba

Say, second Tuesday of next week 
It DOES sound like fun though 
My club has one of these machines, I used it a little last year when I had microtears in one of my achilles tendons (same leg). I have thought about trying it out again but I just dislike this machine for some reason. Then again, I tend to dislike cardio machines in general outside of the spinning bike. If this is going to continue on for another month of so however, I may have no choice but to use it again for a time. Thanks for the reminder though, it is appreciated. Originally Posted by Dog
