I'm a total believer that a good cardio will keep you well. It purges the toxins out of your body, gets lymph moving, strengthens your heart... I think that's why my recovery has been so slow; because not being able to walk has kept me from getting any real exercise.
I did try physical therapy at the hospital but it was a joke. I suppose finding a good therapist makes all the difference. I was doing crossfit up until the time that my back started giving me trouble and that was super beneficial to my overall state of being, though I'm pretty sure the lifting contributed to my injury. I'm really anxious to get back to a condition where I'm not only getting more projects done, but can get back to running and strengthening my core. But I think I'll leave the weights out.
