Finished my 12 workouts with Peter the retired Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Reconditioning Director. These workouts were very tough he had me do the total body fitness reconditioning program. Peter changed the back of the gym into a mobility circuit where you go under plastic bars and over bars and you can adjusted the bars higher or lower.There are handles to help you if you need them, there were different floor exercises so you need to be able to get up and down. We also used some barbells and dumbbells for different exercises. Peter showed me the correct way of doing the exercises and how they all blend together for the total body workout. I was very sore after some workouts even on the effective side which of course was new to me because I was feeling something on the left side. This was a good sore and to have feelings in the left side of my back and leg was unbelievable. He also introducted me to new rowing machines, these are a great workout all by themselves. I was give all the information on paper and sent to my e-mail, so now I can keep track of my progress and workout on my own. This program is not for beginners, I have been going to the gym for 3+ years walking 2-5 miles a week and stretching daily. My mobility and endurance are good; my gait is still off, we all know there is a lot more to walking then meets the eye, but it is getting better.
Lastly I had my checkup with my neurologist on Friday and she could not believe how much more I am using my left side since the last time I saw her. (6 months) That made my weekend. I am 4+ years stroke and still getting better, so never give up.
