Staying in Shape on One Leg?

TripleB · 11-23-2012, 04:36 PM

I'm having Microfracture Surgery next Monday to hopefully create new cartilage in my left knee.

I've go to be completely off my left leg for at least six weeks and can't run for three months after that (and tennis isn't an option until two more months after that).

So what advice/exercises do you have for me to try and stay in some kind of shape during this time?

Doc says I'll definitely lose muscle mass in my left leg but I've gotta do something to keep from gaining too much weight during this time.

Thanks for all helpful responses.
