Amputee Functional Workout-Plan (Beginner to Advanced)

[@stargirl2710]

I’m a right below knee amputee, and I appreciate this video. Thank you

[@jojothibodeau]

Me tooo!

[@FredSismoS]

Duuuuude, I've been searching for something like this for sooooo long!!!! THank you.

[@randymcphink3924]

My girlfriend is a below the knee amputee. I appreciate your video, I'm a big time gym rat and she really wants to join in but she is limited of course. I'm showing this video to her in the morning and I have already subscribed. Thank you young man.

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hello Randy! Happy to hear that, it's all about progressive overload and focusing on making small progress over time. I might be missing a leg but I'm fitter and I can sprint uphill faster than most two-legged people my age :) If she's patient she can accomplish great things in the long run!

[@randymcphink3924]

@@BodyweightMuscle Honestly, I came very close to both of you two. I've had my pcl reconstructed and I need knee replacement very soon. Sir, please keep up your mindset and attitude, and please keep posting. With all the comments you receive, I know that you realize that you make a difference, but I honestly think it is a lot bigger than you know.

[@IrAbynormal]

Man I'm glad my search led me to you, I am a recent amputee and going through the healing process. Left leg below the knee, I was sick a long time and lost alot of overall body strength so I'm headed for an uphill battle and my insurance only gave me 4 PT appointments, so now I'm on my own but I think you might be able to help me get through this. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos...

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hey I, I wish you a speedy recovery/rehab, happy to hear my vids help!

[@silvanostagni]

Thank you for this. I have bookmarked it. I am a below the knee amputee with a chronic back pain (not related to the amputation). I like that you show exercises with and without the prosthesis.

[@karlwee2598]

Was looking for a great video workout done by an amputee, and not from some able body person. Thank you for this great video. It’s educational and provide great motivation.

[@maddmusician4492]

thank you thank you thank You.. I'm a below left knee 3 years this week and this is the first workout I've found that doesn't kill my stump!!!!!!!

[@kingvince7328]

Hey I hope you see this and can respond, how do you keep your stumps skin from getting dry and itchy, and also from breaking out or anything. The only thing keeping me back at this point is finding good skin care for my leg. I just don’t get what I need to do

[@dennismccann5540]

Cancer survivor, this is (literally) my very first video I'm watching for an exercise routine/workout moves that I can specifically do now after what I've been left with so decided to look this stuff up cuz starting to crave getting back into shape and wound up here, it looks like I need some bands lol, I will continue to follow along as it truly seems like you have a pretty good understand for as to what you are teaching and recommending, so thank you for your assistance in helping me to begin this next journey, I truly appreciate it❤️💜

[@kingvince7328]

Hey how’s that working out for you so far? Mind helping me out? I’m going to the gym and also working an 8 hour shift a day job as a cashier, this obviously means I’m in my prosethic a lot, and I’ve noticed it’s very difficult to keep my stump skin healthy. You got any medicine you use or skin care stuff you use for your stump? Any help would be much appreciated

Hi HS, happy to hear that!

[@davidmeloche3563]

RBK here (with a pretty damaged remaining left limb) I threw my back out trying to squat like I used to. Videos like these can save you some serious time off and chiropractor bills/yoga bills

[@lorraine03041968]

You are right. Not many amputees making good videos so thank you. Ten years wt prosthesis (BKA) and working out using able bodied atheletes videos sometimes a challenge. Thought could not do burpees but you proved me wrong. Will do it now slowly and build up. Stay blessed.

[@mpwife45]

Thank you so much for making this video, Ive struggled with my weight since having my 4 kiddos. I am a double amputee, both above knee and below knee. I havent been able to find anyone thats worth watching for amputee workouts until now.

[@merandareast2552]

This is an excellent video for below knee amputees, unfortunately many of the exercises will be impossible, or nearly impossible for above knee amputees. Are you able to put something together for those of us without a knee? This means two legged squats, kneeling, etc just won’t work for us but we still want to work out both legs.

[@az1231]

Bro I’m just about in tears right now. Thank you so much for the exercises without your prosthesis. I’m also a left BKA and I have a non-healing wound on my residual limb so I can’t do my normal workout. You’re awesome 🥰

This is fantastic. i had a left BKA 6 months ago, doing pretty well (didn't know there was a greek option thanks for letting me know NOW). PT's loved my progress but something's been missing: having fun. somehow i thought i had to fix myself first but it seemed aimless and i've never been normal in my life, why start now? seems you're having a blast so i think i will too. looking forward to trying to box and being bad at it, but having fun (more important) - will be new to me too, but first things first. thanks

I can never find any workouts for ABOVE knee amputees. This is literally just a normal low impact workout by a dude that happens to have a prosthetic shin, ankle and foot.

[@pinkandblack252]

Exactly!! I’ve searched but literally almost every accommodation video or even prosthetic technologies that I come across is for below the knee🤦🏾‍♂️

[@mohansharma5748]

I m also searching this

[@FanSolo44]

I’m in the same boat as you guys and can’t do many of these. The prosthesis is heavy and cumbersome which makes it even harder to workout. If anyone knows of any exercise routines for people like us. It’s been almost 2 years since it happened and my body has gone out of shape. Any guidance would be welcome.

[@bobbethany1737]

Great exercise program for me thanks!

I've been a left BKA for about 18 months. Handling it decently so far. I've tried to get back into working out a few times over the months but keep injuring my hip flexor, lower back, groin, etc. all on my amputated side. I'm going to try to start more slowly this go around with your exercises in mind. How many sets/reps do you recommend? Thanks for the video, would love to see more amputee specific content! Thanks again.

[@kathryncook7193]

Do you have any good exercise ideas for strengthening quad muscles on the prosthetic side. I've found since the calf muscles don't activate., getting the quad muscles to fully activate to be difficult unless I do leg extensions machine since I bypass the calf. Do you have any other recommendations and ways to train without machine?

Hey Kathr, this is a favorite of mine, but a bit more advanced: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5zEo6V4q7B-qJo& Tell me a bit more about your situation. Sex, age, how long have you have a prosthetic leg, etc.

What kind of prosthesis are you wearing? I can't do anything like that without it falling off. I have a bk air suction and suspension sleeve. If I walk for too long the thing falls off! So, comfortably doing these exercises is a task for me.

Hi Tovashi, no, not really

[@vincentbattle1040]

What type of prosthetic do you have. I have a vacuum prosthetic and I'd like to move with ease like you

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hi VB, I have a pin system by Ossur - Re-Flex Shock. I've tried vacuums in the past but I wasn't a big fan of them. I guess they work better for some people, and what you get used to, but I find pin systems more practical

Hi!, I am confused about if I am skinny or not. I am 169 cm and weights at the moment 57.4 kg. I have a tummy which sticks further out than my chest. I am eating healthy and doing bodyweight training 3 times a week. Can I send a picture for you to see to tell if i am skinny fat, and maybe ask further questions? I do not want to cut to look even more skinny and weigh even less...

Hello WM, unfortunately I'm not familiar with Kenya's healthcare system. If I was you, I'd search for people in similar situations in your country. Look for local amputee coalitions and social media groups. I'm sure you'll find more people in your situation who have figured this out!
