Today I did CDorner Step Aerobics-cardio int/adv, 64 minutes, 363 calories, heart rate 147/179, 5,569 steps. I also did Walk Strong 3 Jessica Smith Total Stretch 18 minutes, 27 calories, heart rate 79/100, 39 steps.
Total time 82 minutes, 390 calories, 5,596 steps. My foot still hurt through the arch a d forefoot this morning. I have had this before when I did more calf moves and stretches. Chris Dorner does have you do the calf raises in some of the mobility work. The newest has you do the walk in from down dog on toes and also a move where you doing a lunge back then into the low squat hold move where your back side is almost touching the floor(I can never remember what they call that) then raise up and reach overhead on your toes. I always wanted bigger calves, but the work can aggravate my feet sometimes. Anyway, I postponed the lower body workout. I may do it tomorrow if I have time, as I plan next weekend off since I am having my 9 year old grandson over for the weekend.
I started this and just left it and went out with my husband to dinner. Almost forgot.
Suzie, I did not have a problem with the surgery at all and relief was fast. If I remember right I just walked on the treadmill for a couple of weeks and then started light really light picking up weights and built back into my heavy lifting. The muscle has memory and it really does not take long to get back to where you were before. Working out is such a habit with me, I am only just learning a few days off does not affect my results. It is always something we want to put off when it comes to surgery though. My suggestion is if you decide to get the surgery, arrange your meals so you don't cheat and workout a comeback plan for when you are ready to get moving. Think of things you can do without lifting heavy things, like maybe barre work or something for lower body. You really can work around those things. The surgery really was worth it to me. My problems that I am having right now are due to Rheumatoid arthritis along with narrowing in the spine and around my neck which causes a lot of my pain through neck and shoulder. I have had to lighten up weight to what I used to lift. Great workout yesterday. That looks like a long one.
Jolie, I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. I was hoping that it would get better. I think a lot of those creams that need to be absorbed into the system, need to be used for a few days to see any results. I have tried the Voltaren gel and it takes several days to work according to instructions. I think the only reason my hand is now feeling better is because I have given it a break and worked on not stressing the joint over the last few days. Have you talked to a doctor at all. I know I hate to do that as I am afraid that I am getting started on a new problem and I don't want to take meds. I let them know how I feel. Most just give me what they could do and I say not now. Helps me out a lot LOL Neck has been good lately so that makes me happy. Partly because I am not coughing and sneezing with my allergies right now. Funny how that stresses it. Then I went back to the Bulletproof Collagen Joint Boost and added fish oil back. Shoulder is much better after the steroid shot. The careful lifting I have done has been okay. Very light though. Anyway, it is nice when you can get tests done so you know what you are dealing with. Do you think that you are sleeping in a different position than normal? Do you wake up in a particular position in pain during the night. I cannot lie directly on my side as it makes my shoulders and arm hurt. I wish I could make myself stay on my back. Hope you are better tomorrow.
Belinda, nice work on the walk and Fit Tower CL today. I contemplated Fit Tower Adv today, but then remembered the being up on my toes and thought my foot might not like it too much. I will see how I am tomorrow. I put my shoes on today with their orthotics and I felt so much relief. Weird how the arch support made a difference. I hate wearing shoes. Mostly at home I keep a pair of Crocs sandals near the door if I need to go outside. You are doing well sticking with the nutrition plan. I hope your results are really encouraging when you go back to the doctors again. Looking forward to hearing that it is working well for you.
I was looking at night shades as a suggestion for RA and decided I just don't think I want to eat mostly squash and sweet potatoes for vegetables. I like my spinach and greens. I like bell peppers and onions cooked up with things. I wish that there was a guarantee it was going to work. I have tried so many things that don't work. I tried Whole 30 low histamine and took certain probiotics and I did not feel better and allergies were still awful. Read lots of forums on suggestions to people that were not getting results. Granted I never gave up coffee.
