The Do You Work Out Zone

[SnackTime]

I started working out again after renewing my membership at the gym last week. I will be lifting weight with the lower body on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I do a mile warm up on the elliptical. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays is my elliptical/treadmill days. I will soon be adding swimming to my workout regime (well actually kicking with fins and kick board). I am rather limited as to what I can do right now with recovering from shoulder surgery. I believe Shad and I came up with an idea that will allow me to get into the pool and start kicking, since I am unable to stretch the left arm out to hold a kick board.

Good job man. See it helps to have a future PTA as a roomie. He'll be figuring out all kinds of torture to put you through that won't actually hurt your shoulder. LOL

LOL...hy has already done the torture thing by getting my hooked on cycling. At first I was like, You want to do what? Climb what? hahaha

Last night, we were discussing the swimming thing. We came up with the idea of getting a ball (like a dodge ball or kick ball) and and holding it with my left hand against my abdomen and of course hold the kick board with the right hand. The ball will hopefully balance me while kicking. Hy also thinks the ball will help work the core since you will be trying to balance.

Y'all know I try to help a brother any way I CAN!! But for some reason Snack refused to let me practice range of motion or manual muscle testing on his shoulder two days post-op! I live and breathe to addict folks to the drug of cycling and spread the word of nirvana on two wheels!
