My February goal is to work out doing as many reps of 5 of lunges, squats, counter pushups, and ball rolls, that I can. I tried this last month, but I was so sore after 2 reps of 5 of each, it took me 3 days to recover, and 2 of those I was supposed to work. I am a nurse, and can't be mincing around at work due to post work out pain.

jendiet: my goal is life without pain, as much as possible, so it's counterproductive to me for my workouts to cause pain. Of course, no exercise and excess weight caused pain, too, so I work hard to find the happy medium. For me, it landed on walking, stretching, and light strength-training -- especially squats and lunges because those are what allow me to work in the yard without injuring myself. Bending over from the waist causes injuries to my back and knees so I need some other way to get close to the ground. But, then, I have to be strong enough in the legs to make other positions possible. So, leg workouts in the winter keep me injury-free in the spring. Don't give up! Just try something else instead.

Pam :comp: :coffee2:

P.S. joy, I am going to bow out after this month. I am reporting these same workouts, etc. in another group so I have the accountability firmly in place. In fact, in my other group, we are competing in teams (steps) as well as individual efforts so there is a lot of "healthy competition" going on in my life right now.

I agree with the advice you gave jendiet. I too had to get my body strengthened first so I could do every day activities that involved bending from the lower body without injuring my lower back.

Thank you for leading this thread. It is a great addition to this forum.

20: 2.5 mile walking (Total Miles: 85.94/85 miles) Miles Goal :) Still working on those minutes in the gym - haven't been all week :(
