Guest guest Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi Everyone, My legs are still sore from the running earlier this week, so I hopped on my stationary bike and biked for 40 minutes. When I was done, I did 15 push-ups. I had intended to do a " reverse ladder " (which is 10, followed by 9, then 8, all the way down to 1). I did the first 10, but then when I started the second set, my arms gave out after 5. ;-) Well, it's something to work towards. Thanks, Yuna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I had just got back to exercising at a level that was intense... Got back to a level in tennis where I was feeling good and running on a track twice a week and I fell down the stairs and twisted my ankle. :-( So a week of doing little exercise cause my whole body ached after the fall. Trying to eat like a naturally slender person who doesn't exercise but I have definitely overeaten this week. Soooo discouraging. On Thursday I had some things to do that I wanted to avoid and ended up eating a chocolate bar and two cookies. But self corrected later in the day and did a redo in my head. I'm refusing to stay down for very long!! I have helped out my elderly MIL and been encouraging this week, visited a sick friend and made her laugh, cooked super healthy meals, exercised, helped out my SIL and have dressed nicely all week. :-) Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!!!!!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yuna Thanks for the encouragement!!!! It is frustrating to finally reach a point where I wanted to be and to now have to patiently wait! Thanks too for the suggestions on strengthening my ankle. I've already tried them and will continue. Today has been great foodwise and I plan to do some upper body exercise later. Hope u are having a great day too.

That's why I never wear wide-leg pants anymore! > > I couldn't run or do much exercise for more than a month. Do you wear an ankle brace? It might help for the first few weeks, but if you do wear one, just don't wear it for too long or your tendons will get dependent. Do some ankle rotations and flexes, if the pain isn't too bad. And also do some calf exercises when you're able to. Strengthening the calf muscle will help with ankle strength because the muscle runs down to the ankle. > > > > > > > Great job!!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Anytime! That's what we're all here for - to help and support each other. I know that you're itching to get back to your activities, but please, please don't rush it. Joint injuries like ankles and knees take a while to heal. I'm having a great day too! Going to post about this morning's workout. :-) > > > > > > > Great job!!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Patience is hard, but when it comes to healing injuries, it is necessary.
