So, after all that Physical Therapy/Chiropractor/Massage day, I found out no flexion, meaning very few of my old workout moves could be done. For example, no sit-ups, no dead lifts, no twisting movements (for good measure) and no lunges (also for good measure). What was I going to do for a workout?
I let Melissa, my personal trainer, know of these restrictions in advance so that she could have ample time to figure things out. Well, she was quite ready, and she told me that she has clients who have back problems all the time. So, no biggie!
Plus, despite the restrictions, this was no easy workout! She said that without lunges, that pretty much leaves squats, but it is not a problem because there are tons of those 😉
Well, good.
I can also do plank, which she took advantage of by adding the side plank. Whew, I tell you, it is really a workout, now.
I am starting to really feel stronger in every day life, and I can see the changes in my body. Finally!
Now, to get all this cleared up so I can run!
