Geting back at it

For those of you who may not know I finally got my cast off last week.So niw I've started rehab and it's going well.My biggest shortcoming when it comes to training is I'm impatient.When it comes to training I want my results yesterday never mind today. LOL I'm sure some of you can relate.So my PT tells me not too push too fast and I'm actually listening which is hard for me to do.

Aside from joint mobility work I have done no resistance training for my upper body since my injury.Yes I certainly could have done some presses and one arm pushups with my right arm but I decided to let it go and focus on other attributes instead.I exclusively used bands and what some people call the four corners balance drill written about by Coach Sonnon at Bodybuilding.comI used the bands to work my cardio and quickness using various forms of sprints,lunges,and shuffles.The balance drill I used to work leg strength.I progressed in this drill so well I can now hold each position for 30 seconds in a very low squat position.

The transference toimprovements to real life stuff has been excellent.One example would be that my skating speed has improved greatly.My point in sharing this is-we can all find excuses not to train especially this time of year.DON"T DO IT!You may find it very difficult to start again.Be creative and just do something even a little.I do intend to start pressing again in January so stay tuned.This will be my last post this year so till next time HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
