I focused on flexibility and mobility while maintaining cardio.

Cardio was required to feel like I accomplished a work out. But instead of an hour of cardio starting cold and going full tilt, I modified my workouts to include 10 minutes of serious focused warm-up, 35 mins of cardio, followed up by 15 minutes of pilates/yoga/flexibilty/mobility. It has made all of the difference in how I feed during and after the workouts.

I’m happy to hear you recovered from your injury. Sounds like quite an ordeal.
