At last, at last, I have been cleared by my physical therapist to return to my regular workout. Woo-hoo! Take that, rotator cuff impingement!

Plus, I worked with a personal trainer for a few weeks and got some good new exercises and stretches, and I finally learned how to do deadlifts. \o/

So I'm doing squats (10 lb), deadlifts (10 lb), step-ups (12 lb), assisted chin-ups (don't ask, it's risible), rows (30 lb), bench presses (12 lb), shoulder presses (10 lb), and bicep curls (5 lb ea.), in sets of 12.

Also: planks, "dead bug" (ask me how!), marches, and inchworms for my abs.

...and boy, are my arms tired. (:
