Jeremy Renneris getting back into form.
TheHawkeyeactor, 52, shared a video on Instagram of his training andupdated fans on his recovery progressafterhe was hospitalized due to a snowplow accident on Jan. 1.
“UPDATE: I’ve decided to push through the pain of progress (this damn shattered tibia) and take the new parts for a tiny test drive,” Renner said in the caption of the post.
“The body is miraculous…. Even though I feel like the Tin Man, needing oil for all my new joints (hips, knees, ankles, tibia etc.),” Renner continued. “Encouraged after this warm up to press on (don’t tell my PT). 😂.”

In the short clip, Renner could be seen using a pulley connected to a machine as he did several exercises to work out his leg muscles despite his fractured tibia, which is the bone in the leg that forms at the top part of a person’s knee down to their ankle, according toCleveland Clinic.
He could be seen using the pulley to hop from side to side in a deep squat, before switching to doing a few sets of pull-ups with the pulley. He then broke into running motions with his feet in order to stretch out his calf muscles. He did a few more deep squats and stretched out his limbs before ending the video.
“My daughter inspires me…what inspires you?” he wrote alongside photos of the hand-written messages from Ava. “She leaves me post-it notes all over to keep me going!!”
Renner noted to PEOPLE on the red carpet that the event served as his “first time to kind of get out of my bed and out of rehab and, you know, to be on my feet and be out in the world. It’s intense, you know, for me, it’s a lot, but it’s a step in the direction I want to be going, right? And this is exactly what I want to be doing and exactly where I want my life to be right now.”
