Today was my first workout with Corey post surgery and it was perfect! Exactly what my body needed!

We did three circuits consisting of three exercises each and we did four rounds of each circuit. Circuit one: Hip bridges 15 reps, db lateral raises with 5# dbs on the stability ball 12 reps, side planks 20 seconds Circuit two: wall squats with the stability ball 15 reps, seated cable rows with 30# 12 reps, bird dogs with knees on a pad 10 reps each side Circuit three: abduction machine 15 reps at 45#, db bench press with 10# db 12 reps each side, core rotations with 5# plate kneeling on the pad

People often ask me why I need a trainer since I am a trainer. It’s really not hard to explain. I’m human. When I workout I like to do the exercises I’m good at and the exercises I like. I stay away from the things I suck at and the exercises I don’t particularly like but these are the movements that I really need! I like having someone watch out for my imbalances and my form and help me correct things that need correcting that I may not see. Also, I’m smart enough to know that I don’t know everything! I love learning from others who have different education and backgrounds and experiences than I have. At the end of the day it all serves to make me a better trainer. It’s a win win!

Happy Saturday! I hope you got some movement in today!

I'm a personal trainer who started this blog to document my journey back into weight lifting after pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Hoping it might be helpful to others who've also had this surgery and can't find real information on how to return to the gym safely.
