Hello All!

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there recovering from ACL surgery or has. I find I struggle so much with being able to get my heart rate up to get some good cardio in! Working on increasing my resistance on my recumbant bike for now!

    i had it oct 31, so that's about 15 weeks (4 months) ago. still feeling sore and still very psychologically fragile about "trusting" my knee. doing lunges, wall squats and low-weighted leg lifts at PT sessions. We are starting the treadmill this week, and my surgeon said i can go back to lifting too. planning on rejoining my gym this week. i can't wait to squat and deadlift again!
