Good Morning,
Friday I did Jessica's WS3 Boogie IT with low intensity/impact and followed that with the Total Body Flow of her Gentle Yoga DVD. I also did CH: Trail Ride throughout the day to make my hourly step goals. Made it to over 10,000 steps for the day.
Yesterday I went to a neighboring town to run some errands (so there was lots of walking) and was gone most of the day.
After I got home I did CE Burn 1. I upped the weights some. On the last set of posterior flies (which I was doing with 6 lbs) I felt myself jerking the weights to get them up and on the last rep I felt discomfort when I jerked it up. I think it's just a lite strain, but lesson learned, I won't do that again (keep going if I feel like I'm compromising my form). In fact, I think that next time I do this workout I'll sub in extra chest work for the last set of posterior flies.
Later in the evening I did, as gently as possible, CH: Country Swing. I made it to over 13,000 steps for the day.
SB - Oh no! The ankle is broken??
Well, that sucks; I'm so sorry to hear that! I imagine that it is enormously frustrating, since you are so independent and I absolutely understand you feeling totally bummed. Heck, I feel totally bummed for you.
Trying to put a positive (exercise) spin on things, just thinking about you trying to maybe remain active apart from/in spite of the broken ankle, do you see yourself trying something like chair workouts or just upper body work? I ask because I recall seeing people in GD mention that when they have had a hurt foot or leg, they still find ways to try to be active with those kinds of workouts. Are you open to something like that, or would you just rather not? Well, I'm sending {{hugs}}
, positive energy, and best wishes for navigating the adjustments you'll have to make, recovery, and healing in alignment. I would greatly appreciate it if you continue to post (since it seems that there are only two of us now
), but if you would rather not or if you would like to take a break until your ankle heals, just let me know and I'll (temporarily) find another check in. No problem, no pressure; just do what you think is best for you.
