Workout tip 4 of 4!

Hello friends,

It’s Justin Willoughby back with another workout tip for you. Some of you may be unable to move. There is hope for you. If you are able to move your arms, I suggest taking some small weights, and actually doing curls with them. If you do not own weights, I would suggest something heavy such as a jug of water. Do about 20 and switch it up to the other arm. This will work your bicep.

For your legs, if you are unable to stand, yet you still have mobility in your legs, I suggest doing some leg curls. Take some ankle weights and lift your leg as far as you can, and bring it back down nice and slow. Control movements are the key to getting the full benefit of the workout.

If you are able to walk, but you are on oxygen, I suggest walking 100-200 steps and stopping. Keep track of your steps every time you walk. If you can make 1,000 steps by the end of the day.. GREAT! If you can make 2,000, well that is even better! If you can make 3,000, GOOD FOR YOU! Are you catching what I am saying? Do what you can do, and don’t be afraid to push yourself if you are able. Walking may cause cramps if you are mostly immobile, but this will increase leg muscle, which will make your legs stronger so you can do more walking. As always, you should get doctors approval before starting a workout routine.
