    12 minutes on the stationary bike. Noticeable mprovement in strength on the right knee (which has had a knee replacement.). It was getting weak and tended to buckle on me, which is kind of scary. Since I got this bike and use it 4-5 days a week, the buckling has stopped.

    BACK/BICEPS/ABS

    Weighted Pull Ups (vbar) - 45/6 and 45/5
    Low Row (overhand) - 200/12 and 200/10
    Weighted Chin Ups - 25/8 and 25/6
    Body Weight Pull Ups - 2 sets to failure
    Ab Wheel - 15, 15 and 12

    You want a wide and thick back? Start doing pull ups. Nothing better for overall back development in my book. You want beefy biceps? Start doing chin ups. Bicep curls are good, but chin ups destroy them for overall bicep development. EAT CLEAN, EAT OFTEN, TRAIN HARD, and RECOVER !!!

    Today was an hour of physical therapy, including some time on the bike, leg press and various exercises using stretch bands.

    I am not familiar with this. Can you please tell us more about it?

    Sure. Unlike an elliptical, where your foot travels in an elipse, your foot simply travels in an arc...it follows the same path backward as forward. You can control the intensity as well as your stride length. Your foot never leaves the platform...not even your heel...so it's great for people like me with arthritis in my knees.

    I love it. I use the treadmill more...I'm training for my first 5K in six years...but my knees always hurt afterward. The AT gives me a nice break.
