hey all, im looking for some ideas for workouts i can do to maintain fitness while I cant walk after having an operation on my legs. Right now I can just about get around on crutches, so far all Ive been doin are workouts with dumbells; bicep curls,tricep ext,front and side raises.I know there probably isnt much else I can do but im for some suggestions. thanks
imo doing somthing is better than doing nothing at all,partly so I dont get too out of shape and partly so I dont get lazy, also its alot more fun than watching daytime tv
Arm curls and tricep extensions won't prevent you getting "too out of shape" you'll be out of shape because you can't box or do any cardio. Recover, then slowly get back into it.
You need your legs to establish a solid base. The people who bring their legs up because they think it isolates their chest more don't have a clue.
i dont think swimming is an option yet. Ive also got a chin up bar now so ill do chin ups every day I dont use the weights
if you cant swim with it id just rest a bit longer or u could do chair bagwork sounds stupid but its something
