Day 20. Gym!
Joined a gym on 2/10.
Day 1 leg press and leg curls. No weight on the leg press, but it was the inline type.
Tuesday PT: same as week 2 but bike for 5:00. No more leg workouts at gym until Thursday. (Every other day). Knee continually makes improvements. Still some minor flexibility on flexion almost to equivalent to left leg.
Wednesday went to Yoga. Could not do exercises requiring sitting on the ankles. Everything else the knee held up.
Thursday: leg press, worked up to a 25lb weight (in addition to the weight of the shuttle). Leg curls. Everything feels good, no pain, just no muscle. There is a sitting leg press that I will switch to next time I'm there. I won't have to rack my own weights and it's oriented such that I can do some low weights on it and it goes up to 495 lbs.
M, T, Th: 20 minutes of bike riding. W, 20 minutes of elliptical.
