Longer break / Hip Flexor

Everything I read online regarding hip flexor strains is 4-6 weeks. Work on stretching and strengthening.

Not being on a treadmill for a month will be tough but I think it's probably the right thing to do. The question is do I think the charts on this link are accurate.

Activity and Muscle groups Link


Do you think if I get my cardio by spending time on the bike that it's going to give my hip the time it needs to heal? I'm going to try it I guess I'll find out.
Sadly it's tough to know if it's getting better unless I do some jogging to test it.

I do like that link for the listing of muscles that aren't being worked in certain activities. Reminds you of the groups you need to work on elsewhere.

Floyd Landis, testosterone or not biked and won with a bad hip. Knees always got me more than the hip, and it was from the setup issues you mentioned in a earlier post
