Hi, I feel kind of dumb doing this but I’m getting stir-crazy sitting around them casts all day and I need some exercise.
So if you’re in a similar situation, hopefully, this little workout I came up with and help you.
Um, so I’ll do a minute of each exercise and just adjust as you need. And we’ll start out with some stretches through our wrists, in our neck and shoulders, arms and ofcoarse our legs.
Okay, so we’re going to start with our tricep. I use a water bottle, I know it’s not very heavy but we’ll just do some of these and at the same time we’re going to lift up our legs.
And, that just gets some exercise in our upper legs and knees and the backs of our upper arms.
If you add a little bit of your own resistance that makes for a better workout. I know that having it cast makes you really just score all the time because you’re compensating.
Now we’re going to do some stretches for a little, hand movements just going to each side, okay.
so we’re going to do some what I call choir directing and we’re going to move our toes up and down as much as possible as you can in the cast.
so, let’s go like this and I know it looks really stupid but move your toes up and down while you do it.
Get some stretches in those muscles that are stricter than the cast.
look and feel better
So now we’re going to bend our legs at the knee. This will get a good stretch right here.
More so than before, if you keep the head up it’ll give you a bit of a core workout too.
yes you can hear my joints cracky. okay and we’re going to do some of these twists and you’re going to keep the core engaged. And this is just a little bit of workout on your middle and your love handles.
Make sure you’re using your stomach and not your arms. okay so now we can do some scissors, which I thought they really called though just calling that. again keeping your head up is going to make it more what core workout but you can do it whatever is best whatever way is best.
Okay, still wearing your some punches these are good for your core if you keep it engaged and your arms and um it’ll get your heart rate going, which is something you don’t get a lot when you have a cast on your leg.
Okay, so this one looks really stupid. I call it hydrant peeing. You’re going to be like a dog and it’s going to work on your buttocks so you’ll just go like this.
We’ll do 30 seconds for each side. If you do enough of these you will totally feel it.
All right we’re going to switch side. This can be a good workout on your wrists but you can put it this way.
