Home Physical Therapy session 63 - Spondylolisthesis BJJ
This week was Spring Break for my kids.  I had all 4 of them with me and we spent more family time.  There fore, I took this week off from specific core exercises again.  Partially because of Spring Break, partially because I didn't feel very well.  I may have overdone it some last week.  This week I received my core training from BJJ class again but only Monday and Wednesday. 

Monday 3/13/17 
BJJ class - 5 x 5 minute rounds = 25 minutes of grappling.  

Wednesday 3/15/17   
BJJ class - 5 x 5 minute rounds = 25 minutes of grappling.  


Saturday 3/18/17 
Upper body weight strength training. 

Sunday 3/19/2017 
Upper body massage from a massage therapist.

I plan to return to core exercises at home starting tomorrow.

Home Physical Therapy session 62 - Spondylolisthesis BJJ
I took this week off from specific core exercises.  Instead, I went to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class Monday, Wednesday and Friday and received my core work in class thru rigorous grappling training.  It was a welcome change from the various core exercises I'd been doing at home the past 6 months.

Monday 3/06/17 
BJJ class - 5 x 5 minute rounds = 25 minutes of grappling.  

Wednesday 3/08/17   
BJJ class - 2 x 10 minute rounds, 1 x 5 minute round = 25 minutes of grappling.   

Friday 3/10/17  
BJJ class - 5 x 5 minute rounds = 25 minutes of grappling.  

Sunday 3/12/17  Upper body weight strength training. 

A regular week of core exercises would have been easier then what I went thru this week in BJJ training but this was more fun!
