[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exercise bike and go slow. I've been trying to slowly recover and that seems to be working. I put it on a low tension setting and casually pedal while watching TV. [b]The physical therapists gave me tension bands to pull[/b], I can do those while riding.[/quote]
Pull with what? Bikes aren't really great for glute growth, unless you're doing standing positions. [/quote]

Well, I can say that some of the results were pleasant surprises. As far as the bands go, they are just strips of rubber, the PTs told me to pull them apart. Easy, low intensity stretching. [/quote]

Are you pulling the bands with your legs?

I don't think that pp is, she seems confused as to the point of your thread. But I will say, using bands around your lower thighs (just above your knees) in many of the excersizes recommended will help. For example - glute bridge. Laying on your back/feet on the floor/knees bent with the bands on, push your legs outward first, then lift your butt for the bridge. Maintain your legs pushed apart for the duration of the bridge. This helps work out your "side butt" (medius) as well, and works on stabilizing your form. [/quote]
