Keep my body guessing.

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!)
