We’ve all been there right. Working so hard for what we want feeling like we are stronger than ever, then one landing, one step, one tackle changes it all. We have to regain our belief not only in our path, but in our body again.
Today I had the pleasure to talk to Angela Gargano, a fitness expert and American Ninja Warrior competitor. We talk about Angelas love for gymnastics growing up, how she attributes her fitness career and passion to tearing her ACL in college, and how now, years later, she is going through the process again. How she has learned from the first time, what she hopes to pass on to others going through rehab, how vulnerability reflects strength, and how she is continuing to work out in the midst of her rehab process.
From Angela:
Here is some exercises and some pictures! my website with some free guides on the main page is www.agathletics.com
Try out these exercises while you are waiting to get back on you’re feet! Find a comfortable seated position and prop that leg up! Go with comfortable weights that are TOO heavy!
Bicep Curls
Military Press
Lateral Raises
start off with 2 of each and then continue on using this pyramid style workout 2, 4, 6, 8, 8, 6, 4, 2
There are so many other ways to stay creative while injured! Stay tuned or follow @angela_gargano for more workouts you can do to keep you motivated and in shape while your knee recovers
