I have had a stiff sore neck and tingles and numbness down my left arm for awhile now. I saw my doctor, had xrays (cervical spine stuff) and just went today for my first physical therapy appointment. I was anxious to come home and do a good workout today and I have off all weekend and was looking forward to some good workouts but, I have to stay low impact for awhile. I can lift weights, but am not allowed any shoulder work or Pilates type ab work (nothing that causes stress on my neck).:-( x( I am not happy and she understands my addiction and says she shares a love for fitness as well, but I need to be 100% before going back to high impact or I will do permanent nerve damage.
So what would be some good workouts that I can make low impact? Maybe if I lower my step that would work. My PT wasn't too thrilled with my ideas. She said a few days off is better than years off. I guess she got me there.
I have Intensities, Step Blast/SPJ, Imax/RS, MIC, Power Max, Body Max, IMax 2/CW, Imax 3, HSC, CK/CM. I also have other instructors like Christi, Mindy and Gin. Maybe some older Gin would work. I think Tae Bo is out of the question with the jabbing and all.
Sorry this is so long.
