Hi All Friends
I am going on almost 8 weeks post op. Before surgery, I was a 3-4 day workout person which included intense zumba, cardio kickboxing, and strength training classes. I considered myself pretty fit since I have been doing this for the past 30 years. During these years, I really did not do the treadmill machines so I have no comparison between the then and now. I started cardio rehab last week and this is my routine on the treadmill: I start warming up for 5 minutes at 0, 1, then 1.5 incline and at a pace of 0 to 2.5 and then I gradually increase from 2.5 incline to 3.0 and a pace of 3.0 for about the next 10-15 min and gradually decreasing all until I am done at 25 min. Question: Is this too intense --should I tone it down, or turn it up? Any guidelines? Nita
