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

Now spine gym has officially ended, though I have an open return for 6mths. I’m now attempting to keep it going but at home.

Roughly around 5kg each weight

This weeks exercises just needed a Green Resistance Band, and instead of a bar bell or kettle bell weights I have these Dumb bells, so I’ll be using them.

Sticking to the same system I had in the spine gym, 1 minute of exercise, rest for 30 seconds, then 1 minute of exercise again.

6 walk up and downs x 2

First up the suitcase walk wearing my insoles too, aim is to walk as straight as possible, hold weight in one hand. Walk up and down. Rest, then swap hands and walk up and down again.

15 reps x 2

Jefferson Curls but with both dumbbells so 5kg in each hand. Roll the neck forward and roll down, then bring the weight back up, keep back rounded.

15 reps x 2

Superman Stretches I’ve actually really improved with these, I’m able to keep my back and lot straighter now, and the one side doesn’t dip as it used too.

15 reps x 2

Trunk Rotations using a green resistance band on a door handle (hold handle with opposite hand if necessary) and arms length out then twist round. Do 1 minute one side, rest, then swap sides.

15 reps x 2

Hip Bridges never a favourite but they are getting easier, so I will need to start making them harder, by lifting off heels, and progress to single leg hip bridges eventually.

15 reps x 2

Lumbar Rotations nice way to ease out all the stiffness, and finish off the days exercises. Rock the knees side to side.

It wasn’t bad doing it at home, no walking from car to the session (which wears me out before I’ve started physio) and no waiting around to get to next exercise as I’m alone not in a big class. So this should go well I think.
