Those 4 weeks off really took it's toll. Not being presented with a consistent enforcement of my exercises, I admit I have not been following up very well with my exercises. Now that I have started PT again, I am sore. I don't think I have been this sore after exercising in a while, and all I did was about an hour of work.
One of the defining moments of my therapy yesterday was after I did 2 sets of 20 lunges. I was introduced to a new jumping drill, to get me started with my more aggressive regimen. I step onto a small platform (probably 6 inches off of the ground) and jump off, landing and exaggerating my landing some to make sure I have proper absorption of the impact. My first jump? I almost collapsed on my landing. :) I guess I needed a little rest before continuing on.
Now that I am cleared for using the elliptical (and we will start running soon as well) things should start progressing much quicker. I can't wait for more torture!
