Conditioning : Being bed ridden for a few weeks is like aging decades. This was proven with a study of college age students, put to bed rest for 2-3 wks and their conditioning was measured before and after. They all lost what was equal to 20-30 years of conditioning. Slowly work your way back into shape.
