Physical Therapy and Strength Training For Mum and Me

Today was Mum's and my second personal training session. It's a little different from the usual PT sessions – more like physical therapy for Mum and strength training + a little physical therapy for me.

Throughout the one-hour session, our coach focused mainly on physical therapy exercises to help Mum ease the aches and pains she's been experiencing from sciatica, a slipped disc and the general wear and tear that comes with ageing.

He also worked on my achy right shoulder with a little physical therapy and introduced some techniques that are supposed to help ease my chronic insomnia. I'm rather curious to see if the insomnia treatment actually works. Fingers crossed! 🤞

As for me, I've graduated from lifting 3kg dumbbells (6kg in total) to 10kg in total today! I'm hoping to progress to 6kg dumbbells in each hand (12kg altogether) in our next session.

Persistence and consistency in training really do pay off. Slowly but surely, I'm seeing improvements in my strength, and those biceps are beginning to show too. Ooh, I just love 'em muscles!
