So here's my story...
Saturday night I suddenly got the urge to exercise. I was starting back on SB in a couple days, not just because I don't want to be so heavy, but because I'm feeling horribly out of shape and unhealthy. So I used the Gazelle (simple home elliptical) for about 25 minutes, and sort of just messed around with some strength training... did a few crunches, a few squats, a few side leg-lifts, and lifted weights. I have no real training in how to do most of this.
Monday night I hurt my back. Badly. As in, I've hardly done anything for days. And after reading in another thread that increasing your exercise level during phase one is not advised, I'm wondering if this has something to do with it, or at least with how slowly I'm recovering. I only started P1 on Monday, so my body couldn't have been THAT carb-deprived yet, right? But maybe the continuing lack of carbs is why it's still hurting??
Anyways, can anyone advise me on this? I'm still hurting, and it's more than 2 days later, so I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I've been making a point not to strain it further if I can help it, so I don't think that's it.
