Got a great workout in today with Corey. Still going primarily with body weight on lower body until next Thursday when I have my immersion visit with the pelvic floor Physical Therapist in Scottsdale. (More info on that to come.)

Here are the deets from today.

Circuit 1 – Feet elevated hip bridges 15 reps, cable lat pull downs 45# 12 reps, and bottom leg supported side planks 30 seconds each side – 4 total rounds

Circuit 2 – 12 banded goblet squats with an 8# dumbbell, 12 cable rear delt pulls with 20#, 10 each side bird dogs with knees on a pad – 4 total rounds

Circuit 3 – banded lateral monster walks 15 reps out and 15 reps back, dumbbell chest press with 10 # dumbbell 12 reps each side, kneeling torso rotations with 5# plate 8 reps each side – 4 total rounds

Tonight I’m feeling those banded monster walks in my low back a little bit but a little soreness is to be expected. The band I used today was a Small glute loop by Bret Contreras. Such a great tool for glute development especially when you aren’t able to lift substantial weight.

I’m feeling stronger already! Doing light total body workouts similar to this one three times a week. Nowhere to go but up!

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.
