So bummed

[NRG Woman]

I got my new dvd's on Monday and planned to start on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately I was rear-ended yesterday and have minor whiplash. I know I will be fine in a few days, but as I am here previewing my new workouts I am getting really antsy. This accident really illustrates how very fragile life is and can change in an instant. Remember to cherish whoever you share tomorrow with.

Take care of yourself. Thanks for the reminder to be thankful for the moment because you never know what life will bring!

You are doing the smart thing by taking it easy for a few days. A few years ago, I was rear-ended on my way to a 5K. It seemed like such a minor accident—the car was merely scratched and I felt OK, so I ran the race, anyway. But toward the end of the run, I did start to feel a bit of pain in my spine, which later worsened. I didn't think of it right away, but I'd had a crate full of textbooks on the seat behind me which must have hit me upon impact. Long story short, what seemed like an insignificant fender bender had actually done a good amount of damage to some discs in my spine and neck. They've gotten better with chiropractic care, but I do still have issues now and then that I didn't have before the accident. So my lesson learned was never underestimate a fender bender!

Sorry about your accident and injury. Rest up, follow doc's orders, and feel better soon!

Thank you all for your well wishes. I am feeling much better. As long as I don't do anything crazy like try to clean or carry a purse I am fine. I figure in a week or so I will be good as new. Until then at least I can walk for exercise.

I can relate, I had surgery on my neck last Friday and was so concerned about not working out for a week or two, but I must remind myself to take of the body and it will take care of me.

I'll try a wrokout tomorrow or Tuesday and see how I do bit probably no barbell just yet.
