The one thing you must do, is to not-lose-heart! We have amazing bodies that heal and become stronger as we break them down. After not exercising for a few months or years, getting back into exercise will require some “dusting-off” of your joints and muscles. Ease into your exercise program and if a pain occurs, work around it.
If your knee hurts walking on the treadmill, move to something more low impact like a stationary bike. If your lower back is hurting, do your strength training sitting down. There are alternatives to your exercises that will keep you moving and pain free.
Our bodies are organic and reproductive… we are beautifully and wonderfully made to move and enjoy this world. If you are felling frustrated, simply repeat out loud to yourself these powerful words:
“My body is not a burden to me. My body is not a burden to me.”
You are in control of your success, and your willingness to find a way over and around obstacles such as aches and pains will allow you to soar past your wildest expectations. If you have questions about pain and alternative exercises, please contact me. I am here to help you reach your Personal Best.
