Week 8 post-op: hip physical therapy

I thought I'd share with you my daily PT now that I'm able to extend my range of motion a little (I'll be at week 8 in two more days). Today, it looks like this (reps vary based on time constraints):

1. Planks. Front, left side, right side (about 1 min each).
2. Quadruped series: On hands and knees. Leg lifts straight, then knee bent at 90 degrees, then fire hydrants, then hurdles (10 - 30 of each, each side).
3. Squats - usually 25 or 50; sometimes wall squats; sometimes one-legged if I'm feeling ambitious.
4. Bulgarian split squats (I put my back leg up on the second stair step - 10 each side).
5. Walking lunges: the length of the house and back (it's 34 total. My house is 17 lunges long).

Just walking through the house.

6. Monster walks with resistance band - length of the house and back with band around calves and then thighs while squatting. I didn't count these.

7. Clams series: with resistance band, then with extension. Twenty - thirty each.
8. Bridges series: with resistance band (abduct at top of bridge), then one-legged. Thirty each.
9. Leg lift series: side lying, with toe neutral, pointed up, then pointed down; front leg lifts. Ten each.

I do more when I'm actually at PT (he has the cool toys, like ankle weights, exercise balls, kettle bells, straps) but this is a nice, short series I can manage in the mornings before the gym.
