Bodeefit's website rocks my socks off and continually challenges me with their crossfit style workouts that you can do at home. Leaving the regimen of physical therapy can be a scary proposition if you do not have the right tools. It is easier to succeed when you are supposed to be at the gym three times a week, where at least two physical therapists yell at you about proper form. However, out in the real world you start missing a workout here and there and suddenly it becomes habitual. Then you find yourself weakened from no gym time and once again you are injured and in need of PT. Let's stop the madness!
You need a plan and goals that will help keep you on track. Before being released from PT find an affordable gym in your area or inquire if you can continue working out at your PT gym, set a few realistic goals, and stick to a workout schedule. Adding more weight, going to the gym 2-3 times a week, or improving balance are examples of realistic goals. It is important to keep pushing forward even when you are tired, grumpy, or it happens to be raining outside. Go to the gym and keep yourself healthy. We only have one body and we should do everything we can to take care of it.
Research workout apps or websites for workout ideas that can be accomplished at home with little equipment. I understand that most gyms can be expensive and require a contract to be signed in blood but you do have options. Even walking every day is at least making your body move which will help keep you strong. Keeping yourself injury free will take hard work and dedication every single day. Focus on your goals and chase them every day and don't ever give up.
