More physical therapy
I had another physical therapy session this morning, and we started out by testing me out again. My hips are still weak, but tons stronger than two weeks ago when I was in before. That means those exercises are making a difference.
So, I learned some new variations on the exercises I have been doing that will make them even more challenging, and I also got a couple new ones that are even harder. By far the most difficult one is a core strength exercise where I have to balance my back on the stability ball and lift one foot off the ground at a time.
The really good news is I have my metrics for getting back to running. I can keep alternating one minute intervals between running and walking, and I can increase the number as long as it doesn’t hurt. Once I get up to half an hour total I should be good. And of course, I’m still supposed to do as much elliptical training and biking as I can.
