Home Physical Therapy session 59 - Spondylolisthesis BJJ
Monday 2/20/17 Note - I've been staying in a hotel while at a work conference and I forgot about my session until late tonight.  So, I'm very tired and I at least forced my self to still workout although it was a shorter session. 


Plank. 

3 sets for 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 20 leg raises.  3 sets of 20 reps for each leg. 



Bridges with pelvic tilt hold.  3 sets of 45 reps where I press my low back into the table I hold the pelvic tilt and bridge lifting my hips off the table.    

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



Figure Four Stretch: 

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.   

Today's time - 24 minutes. 
Reminder - I am staying at a hotel, exhausted and a late workout equal short session today.

One 5 minute grappling round. 
One 10 minute grappling round and I'm exhausted!  25 minutes total grappling time.

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. 
Morning: Weight training - Legs
Leg press - 3 sets of 12 reps @ 450 pounds.
Seated Calf machine - soleus workout.  3 sets of 15.
