Hey guys,

Been looking at ways to exercise my left leg safely. Had a knee arthroscopy 2 weeks ago. Have done exercises that the doc recommended and am having a post op follow-up in a few days. Does anyone have ideas as to how to stay toned and fit? I usually go to the gym, but since the surgery, have been unable to. Would appreciate if someone could help me out.

Thanks

Man, this thread brings back memories. lol!

Well, what leg exercizes does you doc have you doing? Have you been walking/jogging at all?

My personal suggestion is try light walking on a treadmill for the legs if you aren't cleared for much more. Also sitting in a chair, with no resistance, doing leg raises and kicks. You can even do these with >/=5 lbs. It may not seem like much, but as the saying goes, use it or lose it.



I LOL'd while I re-read this thread. Especially the part about me only squatting 250. I was up to 450-500 shortly after that post, even on my knees. I am going to be sooo frustrated after I get my surgery and am unable to do that anymore.

2 weeks post op?? should be way past the "no resistance" phase. What exercises have you been prescribed by the Dr?? any physical therapy involved post-op??
