This list will continue to grow with research and experimentation. It is a lot of work to compile but I wish it existed for me when i started this journey.
I will slowly build explanations for each movement ~ but if you have questions please ask.
Mike.
1. Push ups
2. Pull ups (i call them green ups because i had to make a bar low enough for me to reach - 2 basic movement possibilities 1- good leg on the floor 2- fully in the air always protecting the injured leg)
3. band medley - bands full upper body movements
4. Arrowhead press - i am using a big water bottle to press weight above the head in a seated position
5. coffee table dips
6. medicine ball situps - when at the top press the ball over head
7. sit ups
8. shoulder stands
