I went to bodystep yesterday after taking two weeks off from it (as I also had a neck sprain injury). I had been walking throughout, and so the class was fine - like I didn't even take a break.
But, I rode my bike later and when I started pulling the cart for groceries that I use to attach to my bike, my shoulder, which I thought was mostly better, started aching.
Then this morning all I did was lift my teen's heavy backpack and carry it about 10 steps and 90 minutes later AND with ibuprofen, my shoulder is still aching. No more strength training for me until I figure out what is up with my shoulder.
I don't even remember INJURING my shoulder! How can that be???? (Though, now that I think about it, I did grab that grocery cart and tried to turn it the wrong way and it wrenched my shoulder in a weird way and was a bit painful the same day it started hurting later in the day.)
So, on Monday I'll call a sports medicine doctor to figure out what to do from there. Wah!!! I LOVE strength training and I miss it! So does my body!
