Long sitting core exercises that can be done from the comfort of your own bed to end or start the day out with some movement! Try to complete the following exercises in 2-3 sets with 15-20 repetitions in each set - let's keep the intensity up! Really focus on squeezing the muscles you're using to increase activation through both the contraction (concentric phase) and the lengthening (eccentric phase) of the movement. Let us know how you're finding these videos and if there's anything in particular you'd like to see us cover. Show us your by using #workitoutwithWIO or tag @walkitoffspinalcordrecovery to share your workout with us! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_0iIkQIHsU

Back and Shoulder Exercises! These exercises can be performed for 2-3 sets of 15-20+ repetitions. Remember, focus on having good posture; chest up, shoulders back and down and think about squeezing you muscles during the exercises rather than just going through the motion. Focusing on your muscles squeezing gets your nervous system to send more signal to those muscles. Don't forget to show us how you're staying active and healthy #workitoutwithWIO or tag us! Happy hump day! https://youtu.be/Qj_AdqRj5CI
