Stairs

I mean, this looks like a fabulous, indoor workout.

@haleyshevener is a queen of finding ways to move that work for her in any moment. Love her philosophy! . #Repost @haleyshevener (@get_repost) ・・・ While many women with #pelvicorganprolapse feel fine running, or find running a priority, it’s not something I feel strongly about and so I don’t include much running in my training, currently. I do, however, sometimes miss the feeling I would have during a moderately paced run; running was more of a mental interest than a physical one. When the mood strikes (which is, honestly, almost never 🙃), a long walk up and down the hills in my neighborhood tends to do the trick, but sometimes, going outside isn’t an option. If you have access to stairs, doing some light-to-moderately weighted carries up and down the stairs can be a nice way to get some movement without having to think too much. You have a little bit more time and control to pinpoint and troubleshoot (if you’re managing symptoms) and you can regress/progress easily. . I first alternated between variations (shown here) and eventually settled on going up and down “normally” with both weights and then dropping them to go up and down while skipping a stair before going to back to the weights, etc. You could, of course, do any combination for a duration of time and play with your pacing for more or less of a challenge. . Gyms are cool, but you probably have plenty of ways to move within your personal space already!
