/fit/, never been here before, I usually lurk elsewhere, but I need a hand in a sort of physical therapy situation.I'm in the military, and while I completed boot, I apparently had stress fractures towards the end of my graduation that I pretty much did my best to just suck up and carry on with.I attempted to complete my several month long school for my MOS but the stress fractures got worse and after over a month I just couldn't take it anymore and went to the clinic where I got x-rays. I had bilateral hip fractures in both femurs, and had 3 compression screws in each side.It's been several months and while I finished my physical therapy and am walking and doing cardio in small doses, the time on light duties from injuries really was hard on my muscles and I need help getting back into shape. What's a good PT routine that isn't terribly high impact? Large amounts of weight supported by my legs aren't something I should do, as the fractures aren't going to COMPLETELY heal for another year at best.Inb4 military trollage, just here for some good words.
Ellipticals are your friend, bodyweight exercises as wellThe following is one round (you do 50 squats, then move onto 25 push-ups, etc):50 air squats25 pushups25 sit-ups5 pull-upsDo 5 rounds, followed by 3 miles on the elliptical
>>449025So you would recommend the elliptical as the main way to get my legs back up to snuff? Leg muscles are what I want to worry about the most. The stronger the muscles the more it'll carry weight off of the bones, reducing the likelihood of another injury.
