[s-cars] NAC - elliptical machines - Anybody know much aboutthese, in the business, got opinions?

[Tony Curran]

Hi All,

Elliptical machines are low impact so easy on the knees and great for the
heart. I tore an ACL over 30 years ago (it has never been repaired) and use
it occasionally. Rowing is also good for the knees and can second the
Bowflex (have one of those). Rowing is very good for both knees and heart -
have been rowing (in a boat) for over 30 years - took it up after tearing
ACL).

No elliptical experience, but my full suspension trek is a lot more
versatile&fun since it doesnt live in the house and with proper selection of
gears doesnt stress my badly injured knee(s), one of which had 2 ligaments
completely replaced(A&PCL -cadaver-) and LCL repaired with minor
arthroscopic a few years later..

Speaking from that experience I can say that while most Dr.'s&PT's mean well
they arent typically well versed in whole body health.

On that note, as far as physical health goes I swear that my recovery would
have been a lot more complete&timely if I would have been told of Dr.
Christopher's school of natural healing years ago.  go to
www.drchristophersherbshop.com search for complete tissue and bone formula,
give them a call on monday, they are very helpful and friendly.

Also, bike, treadmill, elliptical or whatever.. does not give you
strength/resistance training on hamstrings.. Leg curls on my bowflex however
work wonders and were KEY in my ability to walk/snowboard once again.

www.ahealthieryouradio.org is also a favorite of mine if you didnt find it
by clicking around the herb shop site..

be well!
