I got on and rode a stationary bike today. I went over to the old gym at work during my lunch hour to try it out. I wasn't sure how my leg and hip would do. After changing into my workout clothes, I hobbled over to the bike with my cane. I adjusted the seat. I programmed the bike for 25 minutes on an easy, flat level, and started pedaling. I kept pedaling working up a small sweat by the end of the ride. I ended up doing 3.5 miles with a cadence of about 95 rpm. When I got off the bike, my hip felt fine, but both my legs were tight. The tightness disappeared after I rested a bit. Later in the day my quad muscle in good leg started hurting and I got a pain in my lower back. I put the heating pad on my leg and back when I got home and it took care of it. While it might not be the real thing it felt good spinning pedals.
