Re: ive become ambitious again!!! ........ just what i needed
i didnt go to the gym yesterday. i rested. I was meant to go and do upper body and give legs a rest. I fell down the last 3 steps at home 2 months ago. At he time i had a sore knee and ankle (it came on a couple of weeks after i fell) .
Anyway i rested it at the time and it seemed to improve. With the assistance of a PT (not my son b/c he works at the other gym) he had me doing 30 seconds of fast cycling then 30 seconds of slow then fast then slow.
i must have overdone it. My older son (not the pt ) says its just muscle sore and it takes a week to settle. he says its b/c its been such a long time since i did anything so strenous. (ive been going to the gym for a while but never so strenous)
i managed to rest yesterday. I was still limping today but did upper body weights. i did though 5 minutes treadmill but walked and half the speed i usually go. i also did 5 minutes on the machine that is like a ski but slightly different.
it has settled but still sore. ive been rubbing emu oil and the chinese one that smells similar to dencorub. it has helped.
i know not to overdo it. PTs do tend to puch that little extra. but now that i know the machinery at that gym i will work at my pace.
im hoping to do the boxing class early wednesday morning
Arna so right about time and patience.
