Jeremy Renner continues to stride forward towards a full recovery after his New Year’s accident that nearly cost him his life.
On Saturday, about five and a half months into his recovery from more than 30 broken bones, the Hollywood frontman took to his Instagram page and gave his 20.8 million fans and followers an update on his rehabilitation.
But not before revealing he was able to enjoy some quality family time with his 10-year-old daughter, Ava, whom he co-parented with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco, on an afternoon of golf together.
“Glorious day for a date with daddy’s girl,” he captioned the photo of Ava taking a shot on the green, just yards from the hole.
Her only child can be seen from the back wearing denim shorts and a gray t-shirt and white trainers moments before trying to sink the ball into the holeshot.

In his next post on his Instagram Stories, Renner revealed that he and Ava “also did PT exercises together!!”

One of the machines gave the impression that he was dancing, which he quickly let his fans and followers know was not.
“I’m not dancing, I promise,” he wrote at the bottom of the clip, adding, “High intensity vibration machine.”
It appears Ava also helped film the social media clips which included a look at him doing squats with weights.
‘[I’m] just acting like my leg ain’t broke,’ he joked in the caption of the clip showing him squatting while holding the little weight in his hand.
Compared to his shaky walk shortly after the accident, the Modesto, Calif. native appears to have improved significantly, given how stable his balance is.
