Last night I got the go ahead from my physiotherapist to resume or I should say to "test" my knee out at hockey which I plan on doing this Sunday. For the last week I have been doing light workouts at home to try and get strength back in my knee.
These workouts included:
- Exercise Ball: Lying on the floor with legs on the ball then lifting my body off of the floor by pushing down on the ball;
- Exercise Bands: Attaching the band to a door or something than moving my leg in different directions (positions) and holding;
- Balance Box: Try to stand on the box to keep it level;
- Squats: This is self explanatory;
- Sit-ups: This is self explanatory;
- Push-ups: This is self explanatory;
These are not much of exercises but it has helped me put strength back into my knee and legs as my knee is not giving out now and it does not feel so tight. I will continue with a couple of more days of home exercising and one more day of physio before giving hockey a go on Sunday. Than hopefully fully back to Epic Fitness on Monday to keep this journey going.
