It’s Monday, y’all! I got some great news from my Orthopedic doctor last week-he said that my leg is healing very quickly, and I’ll be back on skates at the end of next month as long as I keep gently working out. I’m cleared to do yoga, barre, walking, and other gentle exercises that help to mobilize my foot and ankle.
I’m also focusing on strengthening my calves, hamstrings, and buttocks so that I {hopefully} won’t re-injure myself.
Okay. Time for my weekly workouts!
