Today I had my second session of PT. Basically, a physical therapist leads me through a routine of strengthening exercises. I like to think I am in pretty decent shape and I figured the exercises would just be pretty simple. I was wrong. Sure, anything is simple for 5 reps, but by the time you do 45, your muscles are shaking. Being the fitness freak that I am, I of course love it! Here's my routine of what I have done in the last two sessions.
Warm-up
---------
10-15 minutes on a stationary bike
Workout
--------
heel raises on bar 3 x 15
squats with 6lb medicine ball 3 x 20
leg press (both legs) 3 x 15
leg press (alternating single legs) 3 x 15
kickbacks with weights 3 x 15 (each leg)
leg abductor chair 3 x 15
leg adductor chair 3 x 15
Holy hurtin hammies!!! My calves were so raw after the first session and barely recovered for this one. My inner thighs were screamin like Halloween demons.
Ahhh, gotta love it :)
