>10 months in a hospital bed>almost 2 months out, still struggling with a cane at only 31 years old>loving grandmother offers to help with rehab>physical therapist gave the suggestion that it should be a recumbent bike (on top of everything they provided)>just says to do research, no other tips on what to buy>try>everything is either $100 or $600+ with subscriptionThe fuck am I even looking for. Schiwinn and Yosuda? First seems like a scam and the second hides their recumbent bikes on amazon store page which also seems like a scam. Outside of the PT, I've never tried one of these things, so I'm lost here. I'd like to find something that I can continue to use past rehab. I'm also not trying to ask for something stupid expensive despite what my grandma says. I'd just like any pointer, really.
Sulek uses his recumbent every day, I'd consider that an endorsementhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0Ka4bHakkIIt's a Pro-form XP 400 R
>>76938459I'd go to elliptical asap, these shits have fuck gains.
>>76938459the only pro a recumbent bike has is the laziness factor it brings. you have better cardio options
>>76938459Try crawling, perhaps up stairs in your home or dragging something attached to a vest. Then when you can crawl fast try walking a lot. Then from there jogging mid foot stride, etc.Tl;Dr: babies learning to walk is basically rehab.
>>76938459Gonna be honest here, I usually say homegym, but don't buy a cheap recumbent bike. Any one worth the money will cost you several years' worth of a gym membership, and how long are you really going to be using this?
>>76938509Can't find it on amazon but I'll look into it>>76939129I was doing that for a few weeks. I'm on the walking part but need to build stamina, which is going very slowly>>76939157Thanks for the advice. I'll raise my price expectations
>>76938459you could get a spin bike. or a walking pad. and honestly follow the hobbyist rule of thumb, shop around for the cheapest option with good reviews before going balls deep head first into it.
