I will be having total knee replacement in a couple of months on one knee. The other will be done a few months after that. Will I be able to ride my AirDyne stationary bike or use my elliptical machine? If not, I need to make plans to sell them.

Char asked:


So, I just bought a Schwinn Airdyne bike, and I need help with a diet and exercise plan.

I’m 5′5, weigh 165, and want to lose 20 pounds. I don’t drink soda, or eat fast food.

37 year old male, 245ish, 6 foot tall, decided I was too damned fat and needed to start getting some exercise a while back, ran stairs at work, cruised my bike around the hood last year till the weather got crappy, now, I am riding my airdyne twice a day…I started off doing 5 miles in the morning and 5 at night, last week I started doing 10 in the morning and 10 at night (missed a day so decided to try and make it up, did, figured why not keep going with 10). Anyway, I recall checking my pulse rate in the not too distant past and remembering it being around 72 or so, but I just checked it now, before my night ride and also this morning before my morning ride and both were right at 100 (15 sec x 4 method).
I figured I would check out a normal pulse rate on the web and it looks like this might not be so good from what I have found on line….

Ideas/suggestions?
I just went and looked at my calendar and about March 1st was when I switched from running stairs (3 story building @ 10 reps) to my 5mi on the airdyne in the morning and 5mi on the airdyne at night, then last Thursday, 4/10 was when I started the 10mi/10mi airdyne in the morning/night. I think before the riding was when I took my pulse and it was in the 70’s….did not take it since I started the airdyne till now…
