He suffered blunt chest trauma after a snowplough ran over him on January 1
Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner, who survived after being crushed under a snowplough on New Year's Day, regularly posts updates about his health as his road to recovery continues. The 52-year-old actor took to Instagram on Thursday and posted an impressive video showing him performing exercises despite a broken tibia. He joked that he's ''taking the new parts for a tiny test drive.''
Sharing the video, he wrote, ''I've decided to push through the pain of progress(this damn shattered tibia) and take the new parts for a tiny test drive. The body is miraculous…. Even though I feel like the Tin Man, needing oil for all my new joints (hips, knees, ankles, tibia etc). Encouraged after this warm-up to press on ( don't tell my PT).''
The video showed him using straps connected to a machine to help him with his leg muscles and his mobility.

He also posted another video compilation showing how much progress he's made since the accident. ''My PT made this for reference and to remember, you cannot walk unless you take one step at a time,'' the video was captioned.
The video features a series of clips which features him walking with a walker to slowly increase his speed and then walking without any support.
