I’m starting to get a little impatient sitting still — it’s been two weeks and two days since my surgery. While I realize sitting still and resting is important to recovery. I’ve started to become a little more active — it’s important for my sanity; sitting on the couch all day long is boring and honestly makes me want to go to bed extremely early. So I comprised my own post-surgery mini-workout plan. Very refreshing!
- Crunches (didn’t count how many, just as many as I could fit in during two songs on my iPod)
- 3 sets of eight repetitions- cross-legged push-ups (pretty challenging to balance a walking boot on your opposite leg!)
- 3 sets of eight repetitions — bicep curls with five pound weights — while seated.
- 3 sets of eight repetitions — triceps extensions with five pound weights — while seated.
For some light stretching, I resorted back to some old stretches from a hamstring injury from earlier this year.
