Out of the wheelchair
OMG, I forgot I had this I have been horning in, on a step counting thread. I never gave this exercise log a name.
Out of the Wheelchair is the name of this thread. I actually did work my way out of a wheelchair doing these exercises three times. They gave me a physical therapist for a month, to get me started. I started out doing them every other night or so when the soreness was gone. 1--I worked my way up to 10 of each exercise. I sit with legs out on floor and point toes then curl toes back toward me. 2--standing and holding on with one hand if possible. Go up on toes and back down to floor. 3--standing and holding on, baby squat or dips. 4--Walk in place for count of 50 steps. I have reached first goal of 10 exercises plus 50 walk in place New goal will be: 20 exercises and 100 walk in place. PT was brutal about shoving a new goal on me immediately. :( |
Last night I did:
sit, point n curl-10 stand, up on tip toes n down-10 stand, squats (lol, more like dips)-10 walk in place-50 This is the first time I did them two nights in a row. I am so proud of myself. :) When we get a break in the weather I will drive the 30 miles to the big stores and buy a new pedometer. I don't think the one I have is working. Plus, I don't know where I put it, when I moved in here. |
15-Sitting point and curl back toes
10-Standing up on tiptoes and down 10-Squats (in my case dips) 60-steps :D This guy I know has a treadmill for sale, but it would take up most of my living room space. |
Didn't do regular exercises tonight. I was worn out walking all over a huge store 30 miles away. I drape myself over a regular cart and walk. Lower back ache in car on the way home.
I did buy a new pedometer or step counter and I may start using it tomorrow. I have to read all the instructions first. But I should get half a day's readings from it, tomorrow night. :) |
I still haven't figured out how to program my pedometer. So I won't be giving my step count for today at all.
Why don't they have better systems? Maybe, it's b/c it was a cheap one? Or could be it wasn't simple enough. The picture in the directions looks different to me. |
Found some old tapes I'm going to just pick one and try to do it. I will have to hold on to something to do it.
|
I walked in place for about a minute. Hey, no laughing, unless you can beat it at my age!
|
I am trying to do a pickup like I used to and it involves walking. :rose:
I will also walk dog to mailbox this afternoon. If my DNephew comes over I will have him get my bike down from rafters so I can re-learn to ride it again. Or I could wait til Friday and hire a guy to get it down. Yesterday I walked around in a really big building. :rose: :cheer: for me. |
Driving down to big shopping area and plan to walk around a couple different stores. So I will get my exercise in today.
Still don't have that bike down and I could be trying to ride it for the last few days. |
Will do the 10 min walking tape. :lol: Or rather try to do it, today.
