Hi Everyone,
It’s been over a year since my last post and I wanted to update my blog. Over the last year I have continued to work out in physical therapy at least once a week for a couple of hours. With insurance the way it is, I haven't been able to work out as often as I used to. I continue to walk with the walker in therapy. As you can see in the videos, I have gotten really fast and smooth with my walking. I can walk far now without getting tired and don’t have to put much weight on my arms as I walk. My therapist is there to help block my knees only if needed but he isn't touching me. It feels incredible to walk this good.
I also use the alter G machine where I walk on a treadmill for a least a half hour at a time. It’s a cool machine that fills with air and takes part of my body weight off as I walk so I can go longer without getting as tired.
I also continue to work out with my core by doing 100 sit ups at a time and doing other core workouts as well. I sometimes crawl in therapy too. I like to work out with weights to keep my arms strong also.
As always, I'm busy with my husband and 3 kids. We continue to have lots of fun and are busy just enjoying life!
