Dumbbell Upper Body Complex 16.3 # + 1# wrist weights
Lower Body Complex with Theraband

At PT today: Basically 45 minutes of Walking! Of course it was aid by parallel bars or a walker, but it felt great. My PT says I'll be walking normally by Christmas.

No workout today, but my Physical therapy did the job. For one hour walked using parallel bars, walker and cane and used some machines that provided resistance against walking. Also learned to stand up without using my arms for support which is much harder than you would think.

Congratulations, have you changed your diet or is it the workouts?

My diet has changed a lot since I left the hospital. I eat better quality food and I control portions. I am also exercising. My leg prevents cardio and intervals at this time but learning to walk burns a lot of calories.

I'm toying with the idea of doing some sort of EDT with upper body exercises until I am cleared to do weight lifting exercises with my legs. Any ideas about how I might structure this type workout? Since I can't get to the basement yet, I won't have access to a bench and my exercises will be limited to dumbbells and bands.

PT today. After a warmup on a recumbent bike, we started with about 20 minutes of weight work. I did leg presses, lat pulls, rows and dumbbell exercises. They were pretty reluctant to let me use a lot of weight, but promised to let me push it next time. I also did two different types of stair stepping machines against resistance. The easier one was kind of a recumbant stair stepper and I did a couple of ten minute intervals on it. The harder one was upright and I did four one minute intervals on it. I was toast after it! I walked with a cane today. I did trips around the gym. I would say each trip was maybe around 100 feet. I did four of them. It was a good session. In fact, a couple people were watching me use my cane and did not know I had a prosthesis. I thought they were joking at first, but they weren't!
