Cathe,
First of all, I think you are fabulous and your workouts are the best there is. You never cease to amaze me with your strength! I have a problem and would like to know any information you can give me. I have been having pain in my hip. I believe it is hip bursitis. I increased my cardio, mainly step, the last three weeks in an effort to burn off some excess bloat and it seems to have been a little too much repetitive motion. My husband, a P.E. teacher and coach, has told me to stop cardio for at least two weeks. This panics me as I have been working out 6 days a week for the past three years. This week I have only done upper body and I'm already itching to get back to cardio. How long do I have to lay off? If I am only doing upper body workouts, what will the effect be on my cardio capacity and could all this result in the dreaded "weight gain after injury"? How should I ease back? I would really appreciate your help and opinion so I have a little direction.
Thank you soooo much!
