I have a 2nd degree Hip abductor tear and IT Band problems in my right leg. I was doing cardio 5 days per week and strength 3. Now I'm not sure what to do for cardio... I can't even walk my dog and I don't have access to a pool. Anyone have suggestions? I really don't want to just be sedentary... i know I can continue to strengthen my upper body and abs, but what about cardio?

    I am also struggling with IT band and quad issues.. Have been limping for over 3 weeks. I am able to ride my bike trainer and I have been aqua jogging. Do you have access to an illiptical machine, is this an option for you? I haven't bee able to run in over a month and I am going stir crazy.

    Sorry to hear about your injury ... I'm sure you're frustrated!

    If I were you I'd be calling a good sports doc or PT - it sounds like your injury is pretty serious.

    Good luck!

    This. I'm surprised you're not in physical therapy now.
