Hi! As I mentioned in my last post I fell down the stairs on New Year's Eve and badly hurt my tailbone. The next day I was black and blue on my backside, stiff as a board and could hardly walk, yet staying still only made it more stiff. So I walked a lot and tried to see whether there were exercises I could do even with a hurt back. There are probably gazillions, but here are some of them that worked for me. Instead of using the floor I used the sofa for cushioning. If you are reading this because you have a painful lower back and want to exercise, keep in mind that my back probably hurts different from yours. As you can see in the pics I am using ankle and wrist weights ; this is the first time since I fell. Have to build it up slowly. Furthermore I use a lightweight microfibre towel  for cushioning and taking up sweat. 1. Touch your toes 1; since the hurt part is up, this works for me. Lie on your back, knees bent, feet on the ground (sofa in my case). Stretch up ...

Hi! Today I did something entirely different. I took a power walk 45 min  (walking as fast as I can without actually getting into that weird hip-swing gait) and completed that with a 150 m sprint and a 100 m sprint . Why? Because the previous running stints have restarted a problem with my hip joint, and I do not want to aggravate it by running more. The previous treatment included a very painful cortisone injection straight into the bursa on top of the bone. I do not want a repeat of that, thank you very much. The power walk got me into a sweat and I had a lot of other things to do which kept me physically active so all in all I am satisfied with the day's exercise.

Hi! Yes, we have advanced from the 10-minute fitness program to the 15-minute program. Finally! I am very excited after my first 15-minute workout, which went just fine btw. I can really feel my leg muscles, but also my abs.  As in the 10-minute program I will try to alternate intensive exercise programs with cardio, in my case this is mostly running when the weather allows. If you are using this as a program for yourself to follow you can of course choose any cardio exercise. I find running so easy because you just need to put on good shoes and clothes and go out. You don't need any equipment, you can do it anywhere anytime and with anyone if you want.  tripleclicks.com BIOCHEM SPORTS BIOCHEM SUPERIOR B-12 —  €14.57   (Save 10%!)
