Hippie girl, going through recovery, and life. Follow my journey of Spiritual growth and health.

Time is flying by and the month is getting busy, but I’m still trying to keep up to date with exercises and movement. But by crikey this cold weather really heightens that pain we feel, so stiff!!

On the up side, my house is freezing, barely above 15 degrees with heating on. So these exercises don’t half warm you up proper!! Though lately I am struggling to find time, December is a busy month isn’t it. Been away from home this last week, so now I’m home it’s time to get back into a routine.

My head space really hasn’t been in the zone either, honestly I just have felt like I can’t cope, can’t think, can’t breathe at times. So these times have made me retreat and go inwardly, and just abandon all thoughts of self care and healthy choices. I’ve cancelled my insole hospital appointment which was for the 29th December, and moved to 13th February instead, to give myself headspace.

It’s now a 5 Second Hold, doing both legs X 5 Reps daily
Hip hitching and now with a 5 Second Hold ( left leg only) X 10 Reps daily
Side leg raises, without touching the floor. Both sides X 10 Reps daily
I use an aerobic step and crutch to steady me. Hip extension left leg only X 10 Reps daily
Prone leg raises Left leg only X 10 Reps daily

Still forever hated. But done. Clamshell exercise. But I do see a lot doing them wrong, so here is a photo of the correct alignment for them. It’s not about how far up you can lift, it’s more about how you lift and hold the leg up.

Be in a line, lean more forward and I do both sides X 10 Reps daily

    It’s very difficult to be motivated to exercise etc when it’s so cold! At least it’s a bit warmer…. for now!

    Like you, I cancelled a scan for December 21st (just as well because of having flu), but they new appointment they sent me is on Jan 3rd – not much respite! x

      Oh bless you, not much respite at all, I’m back to hospital physio on 16th Jan, our house is rarely above 15 degrees as the heating is so rubbish x
