Getting back into "soccer shape" after neck surgery?

Getting back into "soccer shape" after neck surgery?I had neck surgery (ACDF) about two months ago and finally got the ok from my doctor to start some light exercising. My main goal is to get back to playing soccer and I'm wondering what the best way is to do it. I can't run yet, so I am restricted to low-impact cardio. My idea is to just get on a stationary bike and ride until I'm too tired to continue. While I'm sure this will work to regain some of my stamina, it probably isn't the most efficient. Does anyone have any advise in regards to the following? -Heart rate: What should be my target heart rate to build athletic endurance? -Resistance: Should I go for lower resistance and a longer time or more resistance that would tire me out quicker? Those are my two main concerns, but any other advise would be much appreciated! Edit: I'm a 25 year old male, 6 foot and about 175lb submitted by /u/Unoriginal_shmuck [link] [comments]
