¿Alguien ha usado un pedalier de ejercicio?

Estoy buscando formas de mejorar mis músculos de las piernas. Camino todos los días, pero por lo demás soy un bulto en el ordenador o en el sofá. He estado mirando los ejercitadores de pedal en Amazon, preguntándome si estos podrían ayudar.

Son como un mini conjunto de pedales de bicicleta que puedes poner debajo de tu escritorio o frente al sofá. La mayoría parecen tener tensión ajustable.

Excersizing is something you need to enjoy but as soon as you make it really easy your probably not going to get much out of it.

Try some static body weight exercises. Stand with your back against the wall aand bend your knees until they are at 95 degrees. Hold this as long as you can.

Step out with your leg and then bend your opposite knee to the floor or maybe to a low stool. Do this in reps of 10 to 15. Hold a bent knee stance at double shoulderstandard width.

Squat down and back up again in repetitionsome 10 to 15. Then do them all again. Don't stop in between but keep doing this for 10 minutes and build up to 20 continuous..

If your physical therapist has some routines then throw them in too.

You can do all of these safely while standing next to a chair and paying attention to dislocation angles. It starts with you it's all about you

And you will feel AWSOME when you get to where your walking around and looking good. You will have earned it

Lo entiendo Josh, pero es un poco difícil hacer esos ejercicios cuando estás sentado cheesygrin

Trabajo desde casa en mi computadora. A veces me levanto, pero si estoy concentrado, a veces no me levanto durante horas...

I work from home too and I'm largely on my computer. I stand behind my chair as I'm plucking aw a year at the key board. I also set the key board up on a small stand and use it this way at my kitchen counter. Wrecked there is what I'll there is a way. But there are also ten fold the number of excuses. Power to you.

Hahahahah. I slaughtered that last sentence. Where there is a will

There is a way.

Hi belle

i ordered the Deskcycle as i am at my desk atleast 8hrs a day and i love it. Its helping to strengthen my muscles all the time :-) i am 12wks post op and when i am sitting for long periods i get up and very stiff the deskcycle has helped with that also.

I used one of those as part of my exercise regimein the hospital after surgery.

I believe that the action also helps stimulate circulation and helps prevent DVT in the early recovery stages.

At home we have a full size exercise bike, and I used that extensively.  Adjustable tension would be an advantage to allow you to set the amount of pedal resistance.

Hi Graham - planning on going to buy an exercise bike today Have you got any tips please ? Also is the saddle comfortable pist hip surg ? Or should i get a gel seat covrr or simlar ? Xx

Hi Bini, 

Re: Saddle -- I rented a stationary bike and definitely suffered from saddle soreness - not just because of Post-op THR .... A lady saddle (without the pointy thing) would be so much better - see if you can get one of those - not a nice place to develop callous  or something ...

Hi Belle, 

I have heard good things about it ---go for it and make sure you read instructions ...

p.s. of course Josh is right that involving the whole body would be the best - needs self discipline and knowing myself, I will peddle while sitting at desk more often than doing exercises 

Swimming will be a great way to build up muscle as it use every single muscle in your body. I cant wait to start swimming again

I had no problem with the saddle and my scar, but depends on the scar angle I suppose, and may be different for ladies and gents as our 'sitting areas' are slightly different.

My wife and I use the same saddle on our static bike - neither of us havea problem with it, but our road bikes have very different saddles.

If you can try before you buy, that would be best, but a regular bike saddle should also fit, so if it proves uncomfortable, it should be able to be swapped over.

Ok, thanks for that , will let you know how we get on ! 

Renee y Josh, las sentadillas me matarían. De verdad. Ni siquiera podía hacer sentadillas antes de la operación. Siempre me mareaba. Ahora me marearía y tendría dolor. SÍ hago ejercicio de pie y estoy casi sin cojera dentro de la casa. Un poco más de pingüino fuera en el terreno...

He comprado un pedalador y espero que sea bueno. También para mis brazos. Abrir cosas estos días... GRRR.

Me encantaría hacer un programa de hidroterapia, pero no tengo coche y los lugares más cercanos a mí requieren conducir. Además, están fuera de mi presupuesto, que es mínimo...

Could you not just go to your local leisure centre for a swim. That would be easier, cheaper and just as effective

My local pool is way overcrowded so not comfortable swimming there and the nearby gym is £80 a month - would love to swim and if i could access a pool nearby i,d go everyday 

Ahh thats a shame. My local pool is about 5 mins away and if you go at the right tine its dead haha

Un paseo local para nadar implica un viaje en tren de 20 minutos Y una depilación bikini... Me lo han dicho (54). Jajaja. eek

Hahaha screw the bikini wax 😂 and 54 is not old at all haha
