During my recovery from a similar injury, I found that using a recumbent bike was particularly beneficial. The Exerpeutic recumbent bike offers a semi-reclined position that reduces stress on the knees and lower back, providing a comfortable yet effective cardio workout. The bike features a large, cushioned seat and backrest, ensuring proper support during exercise. Additionally, the adjustable resistance levels allow you to start at a gentle pace and gradually increase intensity as your recovery progresses. The step-through design makes it easy to get on and off the bike, which is especially helpful when mobility is limited. Another option to consider is the Exerpeutic treadmill, which offers a low-speed setting suitable for gentle walking exercises. The treadmill features extra-long safety handles for added stability and a quiet motor that ensures a smooth walking experience. Both of these machines are designed to provide low-impact workouts, making them suitable choices for injury recovery. It's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen to ensure it's appropriate for your specific condition.
