Hey guys! So I'm actually brand new to these forums, but honestly I didn't know where else to go that I could really talk about this with. So last week, I decided that I wanted to start a fitness vlog on YouTube. This vlog was going to be the way that I kept myself accountable for my fitness, starting doing both regular workouts and yoga, finally worked towards being #Ript, and maybe even talked abit about the business I'm starting. But now, I have an injury to deal with. Turns out that I have Plantar Fasciitis because MY BODY HATES ME. Seriously, I started running again and just my foot decided that it wasn't going to stand for it. Now after I've let it sit for a while and just kinda hang there, when I get up to stand or walk on it, my foot feels the pain of a thousand cramps. (Not really, but I'm exaggerant.) Anyways, I was wondering if any of you guys have dealt with something like this and what I might be able to do so that I can continue working out. I'll probably continue weightlifting and doing yoga, but maybe I should just give up on running--for a while anyways. Idk. Maybe I should just give up on working out in general. (Ha! Good one, me.)

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)?
