I’m doing the 16 weeks mountaineering plan, but, because of foot pain, I am looking for an alternative non-impact muscular endurance workout that would not be hard on the feet while I recover. I was doing weighted Stairmaster workouts, but both those and the at-home ME workout are too hard on my feet for now. Cycling on a stationary bike? Elliptical?
Hi, AdamasPR
Thanks for writing in. I have used a bike for low-imapct ME (as have many cyclists and impact avoiders) and it works pretty well. Something around 3-5min seated and pushing a big gear with 1min rest, or long and continuous efforts; whatever it is, leg burn should be felt and ultimately the limited wile cardio system should be working but not be a limiter.
I have not used an elliptical for ME, but if you could get it to resist your movement it could be used as well.
Best,
