Concept2 Forum

Had quadruple bypass surgery 5 weeks ago and will be starting cardiac rehab soon. Initially will use a recumbent stationary bike but want to return to my Concept 2 as soon as my doctor clears me for doing upper body stuff.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to proceed? Anyone out there go through a similar experience? Pros/cons?

Thanks,
Steve

Be sure and listen to your doctor insofar as getting back on the erg. When I was going thru cardiac rehab they had a Concept there but they would not let me on it. They said it was because it was so efficient at getting your heartrate up. The idea is to slowly get you back into excercising, even though you may have been excercising at a very high level before the surgery.
