Another good day

I had a good day at PT today (no tears at all!), and have some changes in my daily exercise routine.  Pulleys are now on an "as needed for stretching" basis, and I've got stretchy elastic bands instead now.  Since I'm going to be working again, starting a week from today on August 20, I can't do my whole big set of exercises in the morning before I go.  So here's what my new routine is going to be like:

Mornings:

  • Doorway/corner stretch for pectorals - 4x 30 sec
  • Leaning punch stretch (we're not too sure what to call this one. I stand by a doorway, put my right hand on the wall and then lean through the doorway to stretch) - 10x 10sec
  • Behind the back strap from hell, which is now the behind the back and over the shoulder strap from hell - 4x 30 sec

And then my band stretches:

  • Stretch both hands to chest (bending the arms) - 20-30x
  • Stretch both hands to pockets (not bending the arms)  - 20-30x
  • Elbow bent pull out  - 20-30x
  • Elbow bent pull across  - 20-30x

At night, I will do all of the above, and add the following:

  • Wall pushups - 20x
  • Stick raising thing - 20x
  • On the back punches - 20x with 2-pound, hold 5 sec
  • Rows on belly - 20x
