I had a hip replacement a few weeks ago and my healthy eating and exercising regimen has taken a backseat to recovery. It's been 3 weeks post op and I've been seriously thinking about getting back on the wagon. I (thankfully) have a little help at home so healthy food hasn't been horrendous, and now that I am more mobile, I can use my little hand weights for a few exercises. 

This will be interesting. I usually go to the gym or...as a busy body I am used to just running here and there to get a little "exercise". I have a lot of restrictions on the types of movements or positions I can be in while the new hip settles and my incision heals so a lot of what I might usually do, can't be done right now. For example: I can't get on the ground to even pretend to do ab work (not my favourite anyway).

Yesterday, I did about 30minutes of arms and back and standing ab work. I found some videos on Self.com.  Here are the links:

so if anyone is immobile or if you have any other ideas, share your thoughts with me! It'll keep me occupied through my recovery.

Thanks!
