Nearly 7 months post op

It has been a while since my last update mainly due to progress being slow. Unfortunately I picked up a virus last week and as a result have not done much in the last few days apart from rest. I have managed to walk a bit and also do a 25 minute ride on the exercise 3 days ago but apart from that have not done much. Now that I'm feeling better I'm looking forward to getting back in a groove at the gym over the next 3 days.

I also haven't gone for a run in nearly 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to going for approx a 2.5km run either tonight or tomorrow night followed by another run on the weekend. Another thing to look forward to is seeing my physio next Thursday (May 5th) and hopefully he will give me some more plyometric type exercises to work on. Until my next update I hope everyone is doing well!

Tuesday - rest day at the gym, ran 2.5 kms at night

Wednesday - Back workout followed by leg workout (leg press, hamstring curls, 3 sets of side to side hopping & 3 sets of step ups). 20 minutes on the exercise bike at home

Thursday - Shoulders workout & abs. Ran approx 2.5 kms at night

Friday - Biceps, Triceps and legs workout. For legs I did hamstring curls, seated calf raises, 3 sets of side to side hopping & 3 sets of step ups.

Saturday - did 40 minutes on the exercise bike (approx 14 kms)

Hopefully I have another similar week this week!
