    Did modified jack. Can't jump on these old busted up ankles!


    Actually with the standing jacks, there is no jumping, just jack and squat. So glad you did not try jumping! I too can not jump. scares me to even try. LOL Don't know how long it has been since I jumped. Probably way before I had the knee replaced. Good job IWTBFCIN3

    I just joined so I played catch up today. Monday’s I did ten on each side. Tuesday’s I did 15 on each side. Wednesday’s I can’t do because I have a metal knee and am not allowed to jump or do squats.

    Today is my scheduled plank day so I’ll do the back to the floor exercise tomorrow. Today I did 40 minutes of seated elliptical, 5 sets of 20 ball crunches and 5 sets of 20 second planks. I do my planks on my toes and forearms.

    @CRody44, great job on those exercises! May I ask what a seated elliptical is? I am thinking it is like the one I have. Elliptical/stationary bike? You are great on the planks!

    @Wooken3. Oh how I wish I had that stomach modem! Wouldn't that be cool? LOL

    californiagirl,

    The seated elliptical has an adjustable, nice wide seat (I don’t like impacted bicycle seats), elliptical foot rests and grab bars for your hands. I have an artificial knee and this is one of the few aerobic exercises that doesn’t put pressure on the joint. I don’t want to wear it out before my 100th birthday. : D

    On the planks, when I started early last month, I could only do one set of 10 seconds, but by increasing them every time and strength training at the gym, I now do a lot better.

    Today I had a pre-op with the cataract surgeon (set for the 27th) so I didn’t get to the gym. I did do 50 back presses switching today’s exercise with yesterdays.
