It has been a while since my last post. I am glad to see that you are doing well. Not long to go before your baby is here. How wonderful. How is big brother Eric doing? Excited I bet.
Cathe, since Dec. I have been having lower back pains. Strength workouts are not my first love, cardio is, but I will try to get in one to two strength workouts a week. I ususally do Bodymax, MIS, PS or CTX. I do not have Power Hour or S&L. From this point on, I will be getting all of your workouts on DVD.;-) In Dec. I took a few weeks off from strength training. And I didn't do as much high impact. My husband gave me a spinning bike for Christmas, so since then I have been doing a lot of spinning. Yesterday when I went to the Dr. he had me bend over and touch my toes to the floor. He felt my back. He had me to this twice. Then he had me lay on the table and felt my back, spine. Apparently I had something that had rolled over and out of place. And I am sorry, but I can't remember the name. He then did a chiropractic move. He had me lay on my left side, I took his arm w/ my right hand. My legs were bent and relaxed. He then had me take two deep breaths and then pushed my right shoulder and pulled my lower back in opposite directions. He did this twice. He said it felt like they were straight and back in place. He thinks that this could have happened from doing squats. I have been doing squats since '98 and I have never had this problem. I did up my weights to 40 pounds w/ P.S. in Dec. The Dr. told me to take Motrin for any discomfort and if I still have discomfort in a week to call him and he will make an appointment for me to see the physical therapist. Last night my back felt better. I usually do have to find a certain position to sleep, but not last night. Cathe, when I do start my strength workouts again, what is the least amount of weight I can use for BM, MIS ,PS & CTX to see results or maintain what I have? Thanks and sorry so long.
