Home Physical Therapy session 59 - Spondylolisthesis BJJ

70 seconds each. All 3 sets were from the elbows.
1 leg bridge with 1 leg raises.
While holding the bridge with one leg, the other leg did

3 sets of
20 reps for each leg.
Bridges with pelvic tilt hold. 3 sets of

I held this bridge in the air for a count of 1 and then back down and relax for 1.

3 Sets each leg
60 second hold
Pelvic tilt hold:
While lying on the floor I did
a 5 minute pelvic tilt hold. Occasionally I would relax back to normal for a seconds and then go back to the tilt hold. This was for 5 minutes.

Reminder - I am staying at a hotel, exhausted and a late workout equal short session today.

Home Physical Therapy session 60 - Spondylolisthesis BJJ
Thursday 2/23/17 My usual disclaimer: I do not do a lot of weight
training and I've also got some limitations there too. I have a torn
pectoral muscle that never healed - a torn meniscus and more so don't
judge! Also, this part of the blog is more for my own record so I know
what I did the week before in terms of strength training.
