Nope, no cardio except maybe light swimming.........

You'll still be tearing your hamstring when rowing.

Of course now you could always try to see if you could do a little bit anyway without too much pain BUT the risk is that your recovering will be longer.

will try a little. It's driving me crazy and I have to keep up training for a fitness challenge in 3 weeks.
If it's sore, I'll just have to make do with weights.....
Thank you.....
