Progress!
I went to the gym planning an upper body workout with a bit of mobility. I wanted to test the range of motion in my ankle and do some gentle rehab.
I started with the mobility exercises from our Classroom here. To my surprise, I could do air squats and Cossack squats with a band for support.
Then I couldn't help myself. I headed over to the leg extension and leg curl machines. No problem! My ankle handled pressure on the front and back. Next came the adductor and abductor machines. Woohoo! I even managed a few reverse hack squats at a very light weight. I worked all of it in between my upper body sets.
It felt so great to lift again.
I'm still walking slowly, and I won't be bouncing for a while. But I'm thrilled with the progress. I started slow, listened to my body, and kept going, and I did so much more than I expected.
Things can change quickly. We're all stronger than we think, and sometimes it's worth just trying.
When was the last time you surprised yourself? Tell me below. 💪
