Recent experience has indelibly etched in me the importance
of our consistent exercise.
In March I had a detached retina. Recovery from surgery mandated
that I could not exercise for ten weeks!
I had more aches and pains from not having physical movement than I ever
did from it. I still had go to my job and sit in front of the computer for
eight hours, but I could not even stretch to work it out.
When I could start back on my exercise program I was so
happy. Even though I have many times counseled clients to start easy, I
expected I would not have lost too much of the
base I created. I started enthusiastically
with strength and cardio similar to what I was doing, slightly lighter and
shorter. Only to find out the back ache was not just chair and lack of
movement, I really had something out of place and by doing a good workout on
top of it, I really hurt myself.
Another six weeks later and I am just now getting back to
feeling balanced and no pain. This is just from rolling and stretching every
day, and a bit of chiropractic assistance.
I am now at the place where I can start building a real workout
again.
Do you think I am going to take it easy?
