I have been looking to see what kind of exercising I can do during my recovery phase. So far, only arm/upper body workouts. I was trying to think of what I will be able to do so I don’t lose my endurance. After laying around already for a week, I know it’s going to be hard. I imagine after my stitches come out then maybe I’ll be able to swim. But I came across an interesting new contraption that is allowing some athletes to maintain endurance run training during injuries.

The G trainer is a sort of “anti-gravity” treadmill that reduces the athlete’s body weight allowing him/her to continue training during injury. This is done with an air regulation system reducing the effective body weight by up to 80%. I don’t think I would be able to do it even if there were one nearby, but it does look pretty cool!
