TheraSuit Australia - Day Seventeen

I don't know why, but I am still not liking this warming up business very much. It doesn't hurt much - some of the stretches can be hard, but I think mostly I know what comes next.


The weights on my arms and legs. I can isolate the muscles I need to use now and I am starting to be able to push down well

It still takes every ounce of my energy though!
 
 
I work on the ball to try to strengthen my neck muscles. In this exercise I have to lift my head up using only these muscles - Hard work indeed!
 
Then I do some stretching up before moving on to the dreaded four point...
 
I am working on my crawling. Moving one arm forward, then my leg.
 
I spin in the chair to stimulate my vestibular system before I go walking.

I am getting faster and better with my stepping. I know the leg I have to move and how to push the walker forward. I need to work on pushing up with my legs and holding my head up before I will be able to do this on my own.... so much to think about when I walk!
