Z-Health & Body Weight

7:00 a.m. Started with lunge work. Symmetry is improving but still needs much work.

9-position toe pulls - 1st time my knee didn't hurt while doing inside toe pulls !

Discovered that bent-knee hip circles are difficult for me (but very good for me). I will try to do these at least twice per day.

Left posterior 45 deg lunge pelvic circles provide the most crunch in the knee. I am convinced that things are smoothing out in the knee.

Finished full I-Phase workout + band work. Total time 1.5 hrs

Added 5 deep squats, feet together with 12 lb KB and 5 reps with a 9 lb KB. I am hoping to rebuild the damaged joint capsules.
