I have slow-healing/chronic injuries to both wrists and an ankle. Prior to my wrist injuries, I had been working to do some yoga to try to establish something resembling a routine but, that's not possible to continue any time soon.

Nearly every site that I've found has advice on exercises to do if an arm OR a leg OR one's back is injured but none that I've found so far address multiple injuries.

Right now, the only things coming to my mind are:

  • crunches
  • forearm planks
  • bicycle kicks

Anyone have any suggestions for others or resources to dig into?

Update: Thank you all for the advice. To be clear, I have already seen specialists and am waiting on an appointment with a hand and wrist specialist. Just impatient when the slow rate of healing and the timing of the wrist injuries.

While I don't know about how he made a name for himself, that has little to do with his workout programs.

The claim that the programs don't have a definable goal is flat out false. AX-1 is intended to improve general athleticism and fitness, and AX-2 improves on it. The TNT add on can be purchased if you want to do additional work on a muscle group.

AX-1 is a well balanced program that gives focus to strengthening supporting muscle groups, which isn't something I've seen in a ton of programs. For example, essentially each week has some form of rotator cuff specific exercise, which I've never seen emphasized.

For other goals, they have a short quiz that will give you a suggestion of the paths to take.

All I can say is AX-1 allowed me to postpone my torn labrum surgery for 3 years, and is very likely why my recovery was half the expected time. During my PT, every prescribed exercise was something I had done in the program. (I got too confident in year 3 and pushed my muscles too hard, which is why I had to finally have it).

"General athleticism and fitness" is not a defined goal.

How long have you been doing his programs and in that time, what have you accomplished?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

General fitness and athleticism is absolutely a defined goal. Not everyone works out to body build. I do his program to stay in shape and make getting old suck less.

Plus, that's one program out of like a dozen.
