So I had a fusion at L4L5 and L5S1. I am able to start working out again and getting back into shape. Since my surgery I have lost just over 20 lbs. I realize I have to take it slow and there are things I cannot do at all still (any kind of lower back strengthening flexibility).
What I'm looking for is some assistance in what would be some good exercises to use in my workout that won't hurt me or hinder my recovery. Things I have found to work well are the bench machine, unweighted pull-ups, and seated calf raises. There are a few other things I've thought of as well but I figured I'd see if anyone had any input. I'm going to try light weight leg extensions and the elliptical machine (with no arm movement) tonight.
