Home Physical Therapy session 85 - Spondylolisthesis BJJ
I'm attempting to do fasted cardio this week.  Each morning when I wake up I'm going for a 30 minute bike ride before breakfast.  (Completed Mon/Tue/Wed/Thur).

Monday 7/17/2017.


Warmup - Flutter kicks:


3 sets of 30.  Lift my feet off the ground and kick them up and down. 

Plank twists side to side:

3 sets of 30 seconds each.


Side Planks:
2 sets on each side for 45 seconds each.  Still don't like these.  I have somehow injured/strained my shoulder and doing these is causing additional pain.  So I stopped after the 2nd set and did 1 set on each side of side crunches.  I will be replacing planks with side crunches for a few weeks to give my shoulder some additional rest time.  Can't say I'll miss the side planks because I won't!

Side Crunches:


1 set each side for 45 seconds.  I tried lifting my feet up off the ground as well in order to try to get more contraction.


Side leg raises in a circle: 

3 sets on each side of 25 circles.  . 
I made big circles and small ones. 




Plank. 

3 sets for 90 seconds each.  All 3 sets were from the elbows.

3 Sets each leg 60 second hold
