exercise modifications following life-changing diagnosis?
hi all,
i’m a fitness instructor who recently was diagnosed with a debilitating & degenerative disease in my wrist caused by a genetic defect. i was informed that even post-surgery this disease is likely to limit my ROM/abilities for the rest of my life and i most likely will be unable to do a push up or lift again using that hand.
as a result, teaching my core & total body classes have been exceptionally challenging, as has been finding effective workouts for my core, arms, and back that do not involve putting weight or any sort of flexion/extension on my wrists. i was wondering if any of you had suggestions for workouts i could do in any of these areas (both with weights and on the mat) that would accommodate my condition?
TLDR; any suggestions for effective core, arm, and back workouts for someone who cannot put any load on their wrists?
