Lower body ideas
I just got a few stitches in my upper arm and my doctor is adamant that I not do anything to tear out the stitches--so no lifting with my arms, not even yoga, not even holding a bar in my shoulders that someone else put there (yep, floated that work around and got shot down). I usually lift full body three times a week…
