    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.

    What about a hand crank recumbent bike? That will give your legs a break and you can get a great cardio exercise out of it. Or you can borrow a friend's wheelchair and spin like crazy through the neighborhood.

    I thought about the hand crank at my club. My trainer, however, tells me that it is hard on the shoulders. As I am strength training 3 days a week right now, I am afraid of getting an over-use injury in my shoulders

    Thankfully things are improving, and I can start to ramp things up a bit. I may give that hand crank machine a little spin tomorrow after my training session just to see what it is like though.
