I’m 9 months post operation with Dr. Brooks.  My hip is getting stronger everyday.  As someone replied in another post, I place an inflatable  ball against the wall and stand about 2 feet away with the ball between my backside and the wall. From there I squat to almost 90 degrees and hold that position.  Start at 30 seconds and then increase the time from there.  You will feel the burn in your thighs.  I try to do 4 sets a few times a week.  The stationary bike was good for me also.  I also use the elliptical and have began using the rowing machine.  I don’t crank it up to much on the rower, but I feel no negative effects on the hip afterward.  I am only doing 2000 meters twice a week at this time.
