First real workout since my SI joint injury!


Recommended Posts

It's so awesome to have my legs feel like jelly again! Seriously.

 

I haven't been able to squat for about 5 weeks, or do anything that rotated the hips/curved the lower back/sacral area. The strain probably isn't completely healed - but I tried to be careful and test various movements. I busted out 3 sets of squats - can tell I'm not 100% healed but I'm way better than I was. Did squats and back lunges for leg work, military presses w/resistance bands for arm work, and bird dogs (5 second hold per rep) and planks for core work. Stretching felt great after. Such a great feeling to feel like I've actually done some work!

 

(I'm still a little scared I did too much too fast... but I'm giving myself the weekend to recover, and using ice and ibuprofen to keep any extra swelling down. I was going crazy not doing squats!)

Good job! Remember to rest when you need it and not push yourself too hard! I know full well how hard it is to find that Line without crossing it when it comes to coming back from an injury. I wish you the very best!
