Very cool and motivating. I just finished a 48-minute workout. I 'm trying to get to the point where I can walk down the stairs with no hands. I will keep fighting.
@@kicknowledgesmith8608 Heck yeah get it! It will come. It’s taken me tens of thousands of steps to get to the point where it becomes mindless. You will get there.💪
I went in the nearby lake yesterday! With a little help of my friends ❤Next - I ordered a ‘pool-noodle’ for next time floating 😊(having been since 2 years)friends are gold!
@@DK-Pratibha that’s what I’m talking about! Good for you and proud of your friends for being there and stepping up for you. Keep up the good work and keep up the good fight!💪
Hi Kevin, Your recovery is very impressive… I am also a stroke survivor, 6+ months into my rehabilitation, still heavily using a crouch. I do aware that our bodies are healing differently, therefore not questioning about your timelines, rather would like to ask you what exercises were you using during your journey and what were the major steps of your recovery? Thanks for your answers in advance, Thomas Halmai
@@tamashalmai8224 thank you for the kind words. I’m really nothing special, just figured out the rhythm that worked best for me. Hoping to inspire everyone to find their own unique rhythm, which makes recovery that much easier and less taxing. If I can do it, you can do it. Keep up the good fight.💪
I listed some things below that help me with recovery, there was a time I couldn't stand up or walk. Everyone has didn't goals and different needs. Understanding your body is the key, that way you can tell doctors and therapist what you need, to be successful. Then they can tailor a program specifically for you. I approach everything with a trial-and-error mindset, with my doctor's approval of course. 1. Squats 2. sit to stands 3. core workouts (helps with balance) 4. Exercise bike 5. Treadmill 6. stretching 7. Healthy eating and stay hydrated 8. Leg lifts 9. Lots of walking outside 10. side stepping 11. Laugh 12. Take deep breaths 13. Patience I have a personal trainer, it's costly but worth it in my case. It helps me mentally and physically. Plus, Insurance companies don't always approve the therapy I need. I'll be 2 years post on the 25th of this month. Take care, don't give up.
@@user-mv5bu2kk8b walking “normally” again was a massive challenge for me. I found that consistency is key and really pushing myself through the discomfort meant everything. I’ve logged countless miles and although sloppy and awkward in the beginning and for several years, it improved because of getting outside my comfort zone. Our walk/ gait has no choice, but to improve the more we do it. Keep up the good fight 💪
So cool to have access to the beach. It just doesn't get any better than this! Keep inspiring 👏👏👏
