Amputee Functional Workout-Plan (Beginner to Advanced)

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 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. ❤

Excellent info, very helpful.

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?

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!

Aye!! em what kind of foot is that ??

sure wish i were an amputee!

OUTSTANDING !! THANK YOU 🙂

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

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...

Do you get blisters allot? If not how do you keep from getting them moving like that ?

I am double amputee so thank you

Do you have any suggestions for bi lateral bk amputees or does all of this pretty much hold true?

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

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

I am working with some adaptive athletes and this is the most helpful and educational video I have found so far. 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.

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 💯

Thank you! I am following your work already for some time. But did not find this beginner video. Great!

Man being a below the knee amputee seems so much easier lol

Thank you for sharing your info!

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 😂

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.

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.

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.

dude! I am also an amputee and just found your videos which are amazing! keep making videos!

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 💪

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 🥰

You have a new sub have to go buy those bands..

Dope bro very helpful

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

Got a prosthetic leg but am getting serious about diet and working out (the correct way) thanks much 💪🦿

Aka’s can’t do some of this we don’t have the range of motion

What prosthetics lim do you have . I just lost my limb getting there

Thank you ❤

Where have you been hiding. Excellent work. Can you give some ex to work on the thigh muscle of the amputated leg.

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!

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

Awesome video. First week on my new leg. Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍

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""

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❤️💜

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.

❤️❤️

How to reduce that pain sir

I am starting user of prosthesis I have a lot of pain when I am using with the liner prosthesis

Hai

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

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.
