POST YOUR SELFIE IN THE THREAD!
Wednesday mornings I take the girls to school then I teach at the Strength Warehouse on my way home (trapped myself into going to the gym, at the very least once a week this way!)
Sometimes no one shows up - so I got to do my own thing today.
Warmed up with 10 mins uphill walking at a pretty slow pace just getting the heart pumping a little and blood flowing.
Then hit the leg machines - with my hip being so super slow to gain back strength and motor control after my surgery in 2020 - I am STILL relying on machines to safely get it back. I use about 80% of my max and work out control and pulses. Mostly working from a nervous system perspective. It’s not about heavy weight for me, yet.
Extension to get calves firing
Flexion to get hamstrings warm
Abductor for tfl, glute med and min
Adduction for pectineus, gracilis, adductors
Then I move on to shoulder movements to make sure I’m ready for work as an LMT. Focusing on placement and mobility without pain. Snow angels, rolling pec and traps with a massage ball, planks, scapular retraction.
Then on with my day 🫶🏻✨💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
