Can't use weights..options?

[beanqueen]

Hi Cathe!

Well, about 6 months ago I injured my back. Still not quite sure what was wrong with it, but the net result is: that I can't lift weights anymore. It seems any type of weight, whether a can of paint, or my 8 year old, seem to aggravate my back.

My question is: Is there a way I could modify your tapes useing "miminal weights" (or none at all?) and still reap the benefits of weight lifting? I have all your tapes. How would I go about modifying? Or must I resign myself to "no weightlifting" forever?

Thanks in advance. Best wishes to you and your's.

Hi! Have you had this looked at by a doctor? If yes, then I recommend asking them specific exercises that they recommend to rehab your back. If not, you really should go see a doctor. If it hurts to simply lift a paint can, this needs to be addressed. Good Luck!

thank you, cathe!

Hi Cathe,

Thank you for your response.

It's great to hear that there might be some exercises I can do to rehab my back. I'll have to ask my Doctor, or my sister-in-law who's an O.T. That would be great if I can resume lifting again.

Thank you again, Cathe.
Have a great weekend!
