Hi John, Some unsolicited advice from someone who has been a successful knee rehab (total rupture of the quad tendon). You are on restricted activity for those first few weeks to both allow your body to heal and minimize the chance of an unintended injury to the surgical repair. There can be very significant and permanent consequences to damaging the surgical repair before it heals. Take those 3-4 weeks and do exactly what your surgeon and PT recommend - and nothing more. In the great scheme of things the fitness you lose in 3-4 weeks (or even 3-4 months) is of no consequence compared to facing a lifetime of impaired function due to trying to push your recovery too quickly.
Good luck with your knee surgery and best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.
