Hey there! Newbie here, about to start a postgraduate in nursing AND her first fitness challenge. Whoot! The problem is I'm a little worried. Earlier in the year, when I was a nursing assistant, I tried to do the fitness regimen I had in university in addition to my job (12hr shifts, yeesh!) and got Plantar Fasciitis, which is not fun at all. I'm worried that it'll come back with this course, especially when I'm on placements and I'll be mimicking the shifts that I did as an assistant. I've already got the right footwear, but I was planning on just... trying exercises and hoping I wouldn't need to amputate! Does anyone have any tips for a good workout that one could do between 12hr shifts that won't kill my foot (or any of my other tendons)?
