| Today I had my second of three WEEKLY "workouts". My trainer said that he's "DEFINITELY seeing a greater range of motion and strength in" (my) "left side". YAY! So, my trainer recommended I try a new exercise on my "OFF-days": I park my wheelchair alongside/"parallel to" my parallel-bars. My "assistant" will help me lift my LEFT arm up, so I can grab and hold a bar with my LEFT hand. THEN, I--ALONE--drag my LEFT, INJURED hand ALONG a metal bar. I push my LEFT arm as far forward as I can. Then, I pull it as far BACK as I can. THIS EXERCISE will--over time--increase my range-of-motion. (I REALLY LIKE THIS NEW EXERCISE!) |
