I'm athletic, have played sports all my life. Was big into mountain biking (well, more xcountry biking...the flat, faster trails, not big air) for quite a number of years. After I got a dog I found myself hiking those trails more than biking them! I still do a lot of hiking and some biking.
Prior to surgery (10/2013), I did the eliptical 4-5 times per week for cardio and did strength training (Bowflex and free weights). I have been holding off getting back into strength training not wanting to stretch the scars. I need to get back on the horse, though, especially no excuse for not doing cardio.
