Will progress stop?

To get my daily hour of cardio I run on an elliptical, due to a hip injury. My elliptical is broken so I was wondering if not using it for three days, while it is being fixed, will hurt my progress.

    Would you be able to go for short walks? Not sure if this is to much for the hip injury.

    I wouldn't say it would effect it to much but remember that your hour of cardio doesn't have to be all at once, even if you could take a walk on a lunch break, then another in the evening is better than nothing.

    Even if you cannot get that exercise in if you are in a caloric deficit it wouldn't matter as much. Your food choices are the most important thing - then you look at exercise. You cant over train a bad diet.

    No. 3 days isn't nearly enough to cause a degradation in your performance. You'll be just fine :)

    It doesn't seem like i will be able to use my elliptical for a while. It is making the most horrible high pitched squeaking noise. I have no idea how to fix it. So it looks like i need to find a new cardio with the same effects, which is really upsetting.
