Workout 2 – The Buttocks Lifter
- Kettlebell Reverse Lunge – 10 each side
- Kettlebell Swing – 20 reps
- Kettlebell Squat – 10 reps
- Rest 1-2 mins and Repeat 3-5 times
I only did 3 repetitions of this workout, but I already felt it immediately after I was done. By the evening, I had a hard time getting out of the chair. By this morning, I was nearly bed-ridden. Lucky for me in that my husband doesn't believe in pity (insert all the sarcasm you want here) and got me out of bed to do some yardwork, which feels AWESOME (again, note sarcasm). How in the HELL can a 10 minute workout hurt SO bad the next day???? I STILL can't walk up and down stairs...I took a soaking bath in epsom salt and I'm lying here typing this with a heating pad on my butt.
Effective? Yes. Will I do it again? Yes. Will I complain as much the next time? Probably. :)
It's a BIG week ahead! Thursday is my transplant evaluation. It feels like a dream, honestly, to be here now. I'm a little nervous about all of the info I'm going to get, but excited to feel like I'm making progress in this whole nightmare. My swelling went down for a day or two, but it's back again, but thankfully much more manageable. It's all in my belly right now, and a little bit around my ankles. It's certainly uncomfortable, but at least I'm not embarrassed to show my ankles right now, and I can wear bigger shirts to cover up the bulge. Wish me luck this week!!!
