Someone needs to smack me I think. Well, I'm not really sure, but it probably wouldn't hurt.
I 'pulled' my back on Sunday night. I actually felt something go when I bent down to pick something up off the floor. I obviously didn't bend right, although it doesn't take a lot for my back to go out. I have to have regular visits to the chiropractor for maintenance work to make it easier to fix when it does go out.
Anyway... get to the point Zelma... I have STILL been exercising, and perhaps I should have just rested. I don't really know, because my back doesn't hurt when I exercise, just at other times, but I don't know whether I should have given it a break. It seems a little better today, and I am being good and making today my 'rest' day. Being on holidays, it isn't as important to have Friday as my rest day as I shouldn't be any more tired on Friday than I am today. I have been thinking that I needed a proper rest day anyway, because on the last rest day (last Friday) I still went for a walk (quite brisk) with hubby for an hour. I just kinda had a 'rest' from the equipment at home, but not from exercising. I can 'feel' my leg muscles more than usual at the moment, so I think my body is letting me know it wants a rest. I'm going to listen to it this time.
So... after that lengthy tale... yesterday I did 60 mins on the treadmill (only at 4.2mph instead of the usual 4.8 with intervals of 5.4) then later in the day I STILL felt as though I wanted to do a little more, so I did 30 mins on the bike. I just feel SO good after exercising and wasn't feeling too bad, back or leg-wise. Oh well, we'll see how I go today. I'm going to TRY to be good.
Personal Goal... 480 - 90 = 390 mins left of April's goal of 1800
Group Total... 6130 + 90 = 6220
I hope you are all behaving better than I have been.
Take care,
Zelma
