Boxing a great exercise but you should be consulting with your medical team on what are the best exercises for you. They should be able to identify anything you should avoid initially, might know programs locally that can help you get started, etc.

I bought myself a flex strider from Nordic track in December -- the ability to see different parts of the world while working out (and have the adjustment for appropriate elevation gains/losses) is very motivating; I'm currently working my way through various parks. I find that my stride is faster than they anticipate in their timing so I just make up the remaining time to my 30-40 minute plan by doing laps and alternating elliptical striding and stair stepping). I'm adding this to my Pilates and boxing workouts.
Only disappointing thing is my fitbit doesn't count my elliptical "steps" correctly. I can log the activity time but not the true step count.

Has anyone used the flex strider? Supposedly it lets you do stairclimber, elliptical and treadmill all on the same equipment by simply changing your stride. I am also curious if anyone has any experience with their iFit coaching program/feedback on their graphics (they indicate that if you're doing the climber, they can make it seem like you're climbing the steps at the Acropolis or if you're doing the rower (which I'm also thinking about so if anyone has any feedback on rowers) they can make it seem like you're cruising the Thames. I am curious but skeptical.
