Today I felt a lot better so did CDorner Step Aerobics #413 No Breakdown with fun music from the 80's, 28 minutes, 120 calories, heart rate 116/147, 1,972 steps. This was a good one to get moving and not feel so stiff. I the did Raw Stretch flow, 19 minutes, 24 calories. I also did a little with the foam roller using it vertically. 47 minutes total time, 144 calories. I am not going to do any weights this week. Not sure what did it, but I had a hard time with so much pain trying to get into bed and lie down.
Jolie, nice work on the Glassboro trip workout yesterday and today's 3 mile walk. Maybe you can drink some protein drinks or something to help with the lack of enough food.
Debbie, in the 40's is cold. We are still getting up in the 90's and 70's and night. Great job on STS 2.0 Body Parts Legs. I didn't really get the calves in a box thing either. I guess to break it up a bit so it isn't a long non stop set of calf raises. I guess you get a couple of steps turning LOL. I just do them how she does.
I think I probably twisted wrong or something, maybe Saturday's Chest and Triceps mish mosh. My spine aches a lot anyway with the spine issues and arthritis, it does not take much to set off a big flare up. I had been doing well. I took a lot of Curcumin and joint supplements, did stretching and a little foam rolling. I was afraid to irritate it. I can still feel a bit this evening, but I also carted in groceries and a pack of water from Walmart delivery. I took a laundry basket out because someone filled one of those cheap bags with lots of cans and another with 6 bottles of kombucha tea. I hate when they do that.
Belinda, nice work on getting in STS 2 Total Body Supersets today. That is a favorite of mine. I was just looking a spine and pain management here, and they do testing to find the cause and then they treat with "physical therapy, medications, spinal cord stimulations, and injections." That is just what I read on their site. They say they do a holistic approach, so I don't know what you should expect. Hopefully they send the x rays you have already had. They do tests to help see if a nerve is pinched and that sort of thing. I have never been to one. I thought those things were what the rheumatologist is for. Mine does the x rays and mri's at their facility. He just offers me to go to a physical therapist or an injection in my neck. I suppose maybe the management place may look further into the problem.
I get that pain in my neck and spine easily. I have gotten where it starts throbbing holding up my cell phone, sitting in most chairs (I just sit up straight on a barstool all of the time). I hate those head things in the car when I am driving because it feels like my head is being pushed forward and my neck and spine hurt.
. I rubbed Aspercreme on it before I went to bed. I worked on a painting most of the day, stopped to make my husband some dinner and went back to it till after 8 this evening, then cleaned all of the floors and caught up on some housework since my husband is off the next 3 days. Hopefully tonight is better as far as sleeping.
