Ok, for those who asked, here is the list for this week! Good thing, because I have slacked off since I have been ill and this is a good way to ease back into my routine. Thanks pals for asking about these, as I need them~
Mon: .......laying on the floor or the bed on your side, raise your leg up and hold for a count of 5, lower, repeat. Do as many as you can. Then lay on the other side and do the other leg.
Tues: Stand facing a chair, hold the chair and lift your leg up and out to the side as far as you can, hold for a count of 5, lower, repeat. Do both legs.
Wed: standing jacks. For these you stand feet hip width apart and as your raise your arms over like in jumping jack, you lower your butt, as in a squat. Hold for a few seconds, stand back up lowering arms, repeat.
Thurs: lay on the floor knees bent and push the small of your back to the floor. Hold for a second, release, repeat.
Friday: Planks, can be done on knees or straight out planks.
Sat: sideways stretch brings arms up hands touching, then bend to the side, hold for a few seconds. Do other side.
Sunday: take it easy today and drink, drink, drink the liquids.
Mon: .......laying on the floor or the bed on your side, raise your leg up and hold for a count of 5, lower, repeat. Do as many as you can. Then lay on the other side and do the other leg.

@rbeckner711, you are welcome and most of these are from all the PT I have had over the years, for my spine. Glad you like them. Hope that back feels better ASAP! No fun at all when they hurt.0

Leg lifts done! I am really out of shape and have a head cold, so I only did 5 with each leg. But, at least, I'm getting back into the swing.
Thanks, Californiagirl.0 -
