In a medical boot, successfully worked out today!
I'm nothing if not determined.
Two days after getting a medical boot, I limped into Anytime Fitness and worked out for an hour. Can't press with toes on the right foot (broken toe). Adjusted my workout:
-
Lowered the weight for leg exercises.
-
Legs: pushed with my right heel and left leg. Not ideal, but better than nothing.
-
Aerobic exercise: used a stationary bicycle instead of my beloved rowing machine.
-
Upper body weights: seated and lying on a bench.
-
Glutes: standing leg kick-back while holding a rail for safety.
-
Stretching on a floor mat was easy. But I can't lie on my stomach. Stretched abdominals from a standing position.
I feel great.

This is a good time to get evaluated for weaknesses and work them hard. Always a silver lining!

I have muscle memory from hiking, running and weightlifting since 21.
In 2018, I missed six weeks of hiking due to to two sinus infections, followed by pneumonia.
After six weeks of inactivity, I resumed hiking strong as ever.
Seventeen thousand, and seventeen eleven kudos. Hard to keep a great masochist down
