Actually, the drama is diminished for me today. I believe I have found a mostly acceptable workout routine while recovering:
30 minutes of hard biking on the StairMaster bike downstairs twice per week.
45 minutes of 180 cadence elliptical work twice per week.
Maybe I can work in 2 hours on Saturday morning as well. I really need the long, moderate paced workout.
Today’s workout:
Elliptical Interval Program at 11 low and 12 high resistance for 45 minutes.
5.9 “miles”
I’m down to 167 pounds now.
