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?
Another week goes along and another physiological problem gets found. This week I discovered that when doing shoulder shrugs, the joints in my shoulder pop every time.
The good news is that I managed to get an appointment with a physical therapist, which I will be seeing in about a week or so.
That sucks, hope the physical therapy helps. I have some sort of issue in my left shoulder that always gets worse if I stop exercising for a while. I try my best not to stop (good motivator!). I did try having it looked at a few years ago when it was really bad, but nothing helped other than strengthening the muscles. Massage, useless. Physio, useless. Chiro, useless and weird - never doing that again! I kinda think it's more psychological, like it will get worse when I am under a lot of stress.
Another "I've been lazy last week and this week I am sore" comment at my end. On the bright side, feel good to move and to be sore from working out. Monday and Tuesday's workouts were hard since I was lazy last week. Wednesday I was already quite sore, especially legs/glutes. Wednesday I had to opt for a lighter workout, but I didn't want to lose momentum. I did some full body kettle bell stuff, choosing a pretty light one, but still good to move and keep it up. Today I felt good, and did a HIIT workout to balance all the weights from the past 3 days. Frankly, I think I really need a lot more HIIT / endurance work, but I do not enjoy it as much as I enjoy weights. Now that spring is here, I should go for runs, but knowing myself I likely won't. Why do I dislike endurance so much? I hate that "lungs burning" feeling. It's never my legs that tire out, it's the breathing that kills me. AAAnnnyway... Yes! Good week so far. Gotta keep it up! The best thing is that it also improves my overall mood. I just feel better and like life more when I don't skip taking care of my body.
