Hi Cathe,
First I want to say I'm sorry to hear about your injury. I can feel your pain and know how frustrating this is for you not to work out.
This past weekend, I fractured 2 ribs and in quite some pain. I'm even in more pain because I can't do any of your workouts for a good month and can't tell you how depressing this is for me. My doctor told me I can do a little walking and gradually build up to going for a bike ride. But no lifting for a month. He said I could try to jog, but only slowly at first.
My question to you is after I get my doctor's ok to start working out again, what exercises could you suggest I do to build my strength back up? What exercises should I avoid at first? What workout DVDs of yours could I slowly get back into? I consider myself to be in great shape at 40 years old and can keep up with all of your workouts. This is a big accomplishment for me! I don't lift as heavy as you as I like to lift with light weights because of the lean look I'm getting. I can't thank you enough for introducing me to your workouts!
Any ideas to getting back into exercising using your workouts would be greatly appreciated. I have been eating clean while not working out, I know it will help with my recovery!
Thanks and hope you're feeling better soon.
Erin
