Fitness Weekly Discussion
What have you been doing lately for your own fitness? Try out any new programs or exercises? Have any questions for others about your training? Want to vent about poor behavior in the gym? Started a new diet or have a new recipe you want to share? Anything else health and wellness related?
About 2 weeks ago I went to physio for my lower back pain. He prescribed me a set of exercises and stretches to do everyday.
Last weekend I woke up with zero back pain for the first time in over a year. I could cry, as I honestly wasn't sure I would ever be pain free again. And now I feel stupid for waiting so long to go to physio.
I haven't had another 100% pain free sleep since, but the pain has been very minor when I feel it and I can usually go back to sleep.
I definitely didn't expect that kind of improvement so quickly. Hopefully it continues to improve and I can get back into running sooner than later.
Stay fit brother.
I went indoor rock climbing for the first time in my life! It was so much fun! Hoping to go back soon :)
After almost a year of working back up, I think I’m finally back at my strongest rock climbing form. I haven’t felt this good since… 2019? Yesterday I onsighted a 5.11b on lead (sorry, that’s a lot of jargon, happy to explain if anyone’s curious) in the gym, and it felt incredible.
Also, next week is the last week in my 6-month break from running to attempt to recover from my IT Band Syndrome, which totally knocked me out last spring. I’m really, really hoping I’ll be able to run again this summer.
I've been steadily rowing for a couple of months now. I enjoy it a lot, but I haven't particularly seen much improvement yet. It's just a part of my morning routine now, which is good, and I've also been plowing through some TV shows that I otherwise wouldn't have time to watch.
