Are your workouts going good?

[exitseven]

I am trying to get back in shape after my total hip replacement. I am going to physical therapy twice a week and I am back at the gym 2 or 3 days a week. I have been working out in my yard and it has been really hard to keep the momentum going.

They are now that I changed my training split. I used to do upper body 3 times a week and lower body once or twice. I found I was overstressing my upper body muscles this way. My current split changed things for the better for me. The current split allows adequate time for my muscles to rest, but keep me active a little bit everyday so I do not break the habit of going to the gym.

Current Split (On active rest days, I do a full hour of cardio. On the days I'm lifting, I just do 20-30 minutes of light cardio at the end. About every 6-8 weeks I take a week off from training muscles and just go for walks/runs outside and work on flexibility and mobility):

Monday: Hamstrings Day

Tuesday: Core/Full Upper Body Day (Sometimes all in one session, sometimes Push in the morning and pull in the evening. When I split it, core is usually done in the morning.)

Wednesday: Glutes

Thursday: Active Rest (Basically means cardio and mobility/flexibility work)

Friday: Quads

Saturday: Glutes/Core

Sunday: Active Rest

I completely fell off about a month ago. I am struggling to find the motivation to get after it again.
Good luck to you! After my knee surgery, i stopped doing rehab exercises prematurely because my knee felt fine. Before long it wasn’t fine anymore. Fortunately, going back to the rehab exercises got me back on track with no long term consequences. So stick with it for at least as long as your doctor and/or PT recommends.

Trying to ride my bike every other day. Also I want to get a water log with handles to work on my strength.

[exitseven]

whats a water log?

[CherryLove007]

@exitseven It's a barrel shaped log style bag that you fill with water.

😆 Even though you would think it would be somewhat limited, Doc says be as physically active as I normally am but be safe. Due to lightheadedness at times, I don't hike through the woods as much. Otherwise, my workouts have been close to normal. I've been doing yard work also. Still waiting for the greenhouse to open so I can start planting!

There is this young woman at the gym that will probably deliver on the elliptical trainer. She is relentless.

[ProbablyClueless]

My workouts have been going great! I've been in CrossFit for a little over a year. I've seen a massive improvement in my energy levels and muscle mass.
