Finally back in the full swing of getting fit and stuff. After a long hiatus, nearly 9 months of not doing much besides stretching and light work on the erg, I am finally back in the game.
It had dawned on me that I should have kept track of everything I did to make my back get better but people would never be satisfied or want to believe what it was that I did which was nothing. I did nothing for months and it killed me!
I hurt myself in late April 2012 and didn't start doing anything strenuous until an intro yoga class in December 2012.
I will tell you that yoga, and different "classes" at the yoga studio, offered me the perfect environment for rehabbing the back. The instructors didn't push you. It was all at my own pace, they like to say it is "your practice", and it worked great. I gradually moved into doing yoga sculpt. This is yoga with weights and is much more difficult than you're imagining.
I recently, as in 10 days ago, lifted for the first time since I hurt my back and I feel great! Granted I only did 95lbs on back squat but it felt wonderful. In the meanwhile Tammy has opened a Crossfit gym and I am hoping to get back into shape to where I can join in on training folk and helping her gym grow.
In addition I hope to jump back on the blogging about the workouts I am doing and to keep record of how the back is doing.
So my first post I am setting a goal to be able to do 185lbs back squat in 3months and to do a muscle up.
I will be doing a write up on yoga and more specifically yoga sculpt to try and explain why it helped me out so much.
Much love to everyone out there working on getting fit and stuff and best of luck to you all in your efforts. I hope that you can draw from my experiences and accelerate your progress in your own fitness journey.
Cheers!
