I did a lower body 43 today and it was awesome (and hard!!).  It involved this cute little band around my ankles.

I  stayed in a semi-squat (just enough to feel the burn but not a true squat) and did the following:

• 2 steps to the right
• 2 steps left
• 2 steps right with a left leg abduction
• 2 steps left with a right leg abduction
• abduction – left, right, left, right

The steps listed above = 1 rep.

43 of those and I felt all of them – especially in my outer thighs/hips.  I had to do a quick stretch 2 times before I finished all of the reps.  I did this  hip stretch:

Put all of your weight into one hip and push that hip back.  Nice!!

So, I know that this little move goes against Drs orders (non-weight bearing and blah, blah, blah) but it was less than 15 minutes and it was sooooooo great to move and work my lower body!!!

Hair night – WooHoo!!!!

Happy Tuesday!
