I’m a right below knee amputee, and I appreciate this video. Thank you
Me tooo!
Duuuuude, I've been searching for something like this for sooooo long!!!! THank you.
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.
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!
@@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.
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...
Hey I, I wish you a speedy recovery/rehab, happy to hear my vids help!
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
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.
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.
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❤️💜
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
Am lbka almost one year old this video has been very insightful been working out thankyou for the key notes abs,glute generally lower body
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!!!!!!!
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
@@kingvince7328 hi from Dennis. Try Sothing and calming body cream. Available from iherb. Enjoy.
You're an absolute legend bro, they should implement these exercises in all hospitals and physio centres.
💪🏼
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.
Hi Kelsey, happy to hear that! Happy to help!
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.
I am working with some adaptive athletes and this is the most helpful and educational video I have found so far. THANK YOU!
Hi HS, happy to hear that!
This helps me alot I just had an amputate 3 months ago I been on the prosthetic leg 3weeks after my surgery. I want to advance iam 100 percent motivated to start walking and do more activities. Thank Brother.. to all the amputate soldiers lets rock this we can do this""
Good luck my friend, you have the right attitude which is a great. Keep it up!
@@BodyweightMuscle thanks brody
HAVING YOUR FEET AGAINST THE WALL DURING PLANKS! You just blew my mind! No matter what foot I'm in, my foot slips out during planks and I had given up on them. Thanks for the info!
Can't wait to get started I'm trying to get my fitness levels up as I play wheelchair basketball in 2 teams and want my overall body to be stronger 💪
nice nickname :D
Awesome video. First week on my new leg. Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍
dude! I am also an amputee and just found your videos which are amazing! keep making videos!
Happy to hear that brother 💪🏼
My brother u helped me a lot I really appreciate it I just lost my leg and I really wanted to get back in the gym thanks brother 💯
Excellent video! I've done many of these exercises in physiotherapy, but some of these look very interesting and I look forward to trying them!
Hi Monoped, cool, good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
I am an above amputee myself. I have yet to come across any exercise routines for us as well. I guess that will be one of my resolutions for this year. ❤
Hi Mia!
Im ready for this
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 🥰
Glad to help AZ !
@@BodyweightMuscle are you Instagram?
Same 🤧
Thank you! I am following your work already for some time. But did not find this beginner video. Great!
Super interesting, a very positive video
Im new amputee this is a great video it's helped me a lot
Great info thanks for the videos myself a right below knee amp.
Thank you. hugs from Brazil
Excellent info, very helpful.
your very welcome!
I've relatively lost my leg I'm a little overweight. I had no idea I could exercise. Thank you so much. I'm still adjusting to my prosthetic leg but I'm definitely subscribing for more tips.
I need more of these types of videos
Help me with excercising to get in shape with a below the knee amputation without hurting or causing to much discomfort.! plz
Thank you for sharing your info!
OUTSTANDING !! THANK YOU 🙂
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.
Exactly!! I’ve searched but literally almost every accommodation video or even prosthetic technologies that I come across is for below the knee🤦🏾♂️
I m also searching this
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.
Great exercise program for me thanks!
Good to know!
Thank you from Italy!!
fukazepe Fantastico!! Sisi sono io 😁 Grazie mille per avermi dato questo consiglio, attualmente sto facendo nuoto ma stavo pensando di comprarmi il materassino per fare qualche esercizio! 😁
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
hey, don't worry about it.There are always tricks and ways to work around your prosthesis, if you really want it you can do anything you want ;)
I am double amputee so thank you
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.
great content..
Thanks for this video
Your welcome my friend 💪🏼
You have a new sub have to go buy those bands..
Great video!!
Thank you ❤
This is my goal
great content bro.
Dope bro very helpful
Good job buddy
Is there a good video/TH-cam channel showing what can be done for less athletic women. Or for women who had both legs amputated? Looking for some workouts for my grandmother
Hi Bean, I'd focus more on band training in that case: th-cam.com/video/Rcq238eePKk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OMuSSjLK7uU/w-d-xo.html
@@BodyweightMuscle Holy shit that was fast. Thank you kindly brother!
Your very welcome 💪🏻
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.
I’m an above knee amputee 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 someone like me. It’s been almost 2 years since it happened and my body has gone out of shape. Any guidance would be welcome.
I am starting user of prosthesis I have a lot of pain when I am using with the liner prosthesis
Holy shit, you rock bro !!!!!
Thanks man, you an amputee?
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
My name is Michelle I am trying to do those exercises. I been like this for a year.
Hi Michelle 💪🏼🦿
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: th-cam.com/video/9karrBvKKr8/w-d-xo.html& Tell me a bit more about your situation. Sex, age, how long have you have a prosthetic leg, etc.
@BodyweightMuscle thank you. This is very helpful
Your welcome
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...
Aka’s can’t do some of this we don’t have the range of motion
Am from Kenya 🇰🇪 ..32 years old ..got a road accident last year October and after 4 unsuccessful surgeries my left leg was amputated..how can I acquire a quality and affordable prosthetic limb to enable me take care of my young family...pliz advice
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!
What prosthetics lim do you have . I just lost my limb getting there
How to reduce that pain sir
What type of prosthetic do you have.
I have a vacuum prosthetic and I'd like to move with ease like you
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
❤️❤️
Ιm not an amputee. I just dislocated my knee and wanna continue working out. My other knee hurts from limping idk how y'all doing these things. I haven't walked in 2 weeks 😂
Where have you been hiding. Excellent work. Can you give some ex to work on the thigh muscle of the amputated leg.
Do you get blisters allot? If not how do you keep from getting them moving like that ?
Hi Jay, yes, I almost always have blisters, unfortunately, and often painful ones.
Do you have a special foot for walking barefoot?
I’m surprised your doing lunges. I’ve felt that was an exercise I would just have to start skipping out on. When I try doing lunges I feel I’m always putting more weight on my regular leg. Never felt I was doing them right after the prosthetic
hey man, it takes time but you can get there!
Why is the kneeled hip thrust ideally done without the prosthesis? Is it just due to a lack of ankle mobility
Johnathon Connolly hi, mostly because it's uncomfortable. At least for my and my friends prosthesis
Actually I am used before normal Jaipur leg since 3 years
One month back I brought prosthesis but it us very discomfort to me
I don't know correctly is it discomfort at starting time or my leg only like this I didn't understand , when I put liner of my leg with in 1 hour I get muscle pain lot
Do you have any suggestions for bi lateral bk amputees or does all of this pretty much hold true?
Hi James, having no experience with bilateral amputees, I unfortunately cant tell with certainty. You can try, but always look for ways to make things easier in your case.
Σε Είδα Στις Ειδήσεις Τα Σπας! (Subbed)

Hai

@@Vidhyaseth 2 lakhs in india
sure wish i were an amputee!
why :D ?
This should be called “Warm Ups for below the knee amputees.” I am a highly active above the knee amputee and still 80% of these are nearly impossible for me to do.
Hi Kendra, always happy to help if you'd need any tips. You can always reach me via message on Instagram @bodyweightmuscle
Man being a below the knee amputee seems so much easier lol
Well compared to an above the knee it is a lot easier, that's for sure. Still not a reason or excuse to limit yourself. Keep on training brother 💪🏻
Got a prosthetic leg but am getting serious about diet and working out (the correct way) thanks much 💪🦿
I am AK left side.. wish I had my knee still lol but no worries. This should help dramatically. I have always been active but caught my 2nd wind in life and I am ready to hit it hard !
