I honestly didn’t believe the word COVID would still be causing such disruption in our lives at the end of August! When I started this blog the biggest issue on my mind was recovering from surgery and getting back to the gym and back to weight training! But as they say, when life throws youContinue reading “August 25, 2020”

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I guess I’ll blame it on the corona virus and the major change in my routine. But if I’m honest I think there’s another reason. Today is my 6 month post surgery date. Six months ago I never thought I’d be here but here I am. AndContinue reading “4/23/20”

Tuesday’s workout! March is here which means I get to try increasing my weight for lower body exercises to 40 pounds. Woohoo!! Did squats on the Smith machine for the first time since October and it felt great! Small increases each month are adding up to increased strength and return of muscle and that’s superContinue reading “March 3, 2020”

Happy Saturday! I forgot to take a pic at the gym yesterday so I’m using this post workout pic instead. It’s been a beautiful weekend with lots of chances to be outside which makes me super happy. I think Spring is almost here! I’ll be posting my Thursday workouts in the form of screenshots takenContinue reading “February 28, 2020”

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted because life has been busy but rest assured that while you may not see me here, you can always find me in the gym! Or if it’s a nice day, slightly outside the gym. Movement is medicine, whether preventative or rehabilitative. It’s always a good idea to move!Continue reading “February 22, 2020”

Nothing better than a Saturday workout. No rush. No crowd. Just work. Today I replicated what @capclark and I did on Thursday with a couple of minor changes. Here’s the workout. I changed the step ups by using two 15# kettlebells instead of the cable. And I changed the rear delt flys to a benchContinue reading “February 8, 2020”

Happy February! It’s a far cry from 185# but I got to pull 30# from the ground today. Very happy girl! Giving myself at least a year to safely return to my heavier weights. And now for a small rant. I’m not a Physical Therapist and I’m certainly not a doctor but I feel likeContinue reading “February 4, 2020”

Feeling a little all over the map today. In a good way. Had a Zoom chat with my amazing PT, @the.vaginadoc Monday night. So great to have a professional who is positive and progressive and always FOR me! She cleared me to get back on the row machine this week which makes me super happy.Continue reading “January 27, 2020”

I’m not a huge fan of selfies but I don’t want this space to be outrageously boring so I’m trying to remember to snap an occasional pic. I worked out on my own at LJPT Thursday so I took this at the end of my last set of hip bridges. I think you can seeContinue reading “January 24, 2020”

Another great workout today. I’m so happy to be moving that I’m honestly ok with using light weight. It’s actually helping me refine my movement patterns which will be super helpful as I’m able to increase my weight. We did 4 rounds of the following circuit – Feet elevated banded hip bridges 15 reps, TRXContinue reading “January 16, 2020”
