When I was rehabbing from my cervical fusion, my physical therapist gave me the same advice. I very snottily told him it wasn't worth putting on a helmet for five miles. Then I tried to ride five miles - not realizing that the jolting from the bike would kill my neck - and this was my full suspension mtb!
I think Crankin gives some good advice. I lift weights & do yoga. When my endurance tanks - like right now - I can focus on other things. For me, it's about moving my body. AND accepting that at age 56, teaching a one hour spin class, then returning 12 hours later to teach another spin class will probably mean I need a little extra recovery.I don't teach "twinkie" classes.
BTW, "Machine weight lifting?" Use dumbbells & work on functional fitness.
