Of course I'd ask your doctor before starting any of this. And if you do, I'd do a lot of research/try and find someone to teach you proper technique.

As a side note, I'm a big proponent of weight lifting. Really helps with the wear and tear of the season. Especially during the off season, I'm doing heavy bench, deadlifts, squats, pullups, etc.
I could do something similar with the HealthRider by adding additional weights to it, as the HealthRider uses your own weight for resistance (also any additional weight added).

I have more strength in my legs than I do my arms as at most that I can lift with my arms via weight training would be only about 75 lbs.
