So I'm getting a little antsy just sitting around and feel the urge to start working out again. For some reason I really want to find a way to do push-ups, but there's no way that can happen just yet. Then I realize that I can use my recliner as an incline bench--brilliant! I order up some old 5 pound weights from the basement storage, and viola I'm in business. I can do everything--chest press, flys, back, bicep curls, tris, shoulder--this makes me SO happy. I think it's best to start off with light weight seeing how surgery can take more out of one than may be realized.
So now I can put some kind of routine together. I have 1000 leg reps that I must do everyday, so I try to aim for 100 at the top of each hour. I'm suppose to manually lift my knee up & down with my hands, and push my knee in & out. The goal being to eventually cross my ankle over my knee (something I haven't been able to do since my scope in February.)
This is so cool, I now have another activity to help pass the time!
