Mom-ninja. Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Crap, I woke up feeling like my clavicle popped out from the shoulder. I'm going to do some stretching/limbering to see if that helps. I am going to do my WO so this thing better resolve itself quick. Well, pop it back in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 4 mile run before lunch. I got outside, which felt great. Bad weather is on it's way, so it was nice to get outside before the yuck starts. This afternoon I did 30 minutes of kettlebell. It was lots of squats and renegade rows, then lots of different lunges, and snatches and pull-ups, plus I did push-ups between sets. I really want to work on that upper body strength. Tomorrow is yoga, and chataranga may be hard. Snickerdoodle, I hope it popped back in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 OK after some stretching and deadhangs I got some good snap, crackling and popping. It seems the source of my troubles is a major (charlie horse?) trigger point in my upper traps. My roll session has been very painful today and I'm just going to have to break it up into little segments. I'm halfway done with my WO. I just have pushing and pulling elements left. I'm just going to have to play it by ear on intensity today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Managed a run, some elliptical and the church walking thing.

rieshy Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I saw my old trainer/physical therapist about my right calf. The muscles were like several layers of marbles under the skin- he got it all to release and figured out what was going on. It was basically primed to be torn- but didn't:). Now I have a series of new exercises to work on. Other than that just 1/2 of my kettle bell challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I am pretty damn sure if any of my bones were not where they are supposed to be I would be :scared: :scared: :willy_nilly: Only without flapping the arms or running around because of bones in wrong places. So this can just happen to a clavicle? Can it happen to my clavicle? I did 30 mins on the Nordic Track and a 20 min Leah Sarago lower body workout (more butt if you must know, lol) I am off to check my clavicles.

My friend told me a story about finding her cousin with a prolapsed uterus (she's fine) and I reacted the exact same way. "What, no. That's not a thing! But... but... it's attached... and... no!" I was hysterical for days. I felt better after finding out that it was genetic until I found out it happened to my grandmother. Then I had to lay down. Again. It was probably weeks before my husband could pry my knees apart again. I don't know why it affected me that way. The human body is such a bizarre piece of machinery.

Joyofsixreboot Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Pretty decent weather finally so I ran without being rained on, deluged with slush, slipping and falling or having snow in my shoes. Thirty degrees never felt so good. My clavicles are currently where they should be but a physical therapist once tole me I have " sloppy joints". Basically my tendons and ligaments are loosey goosey which means I can pop my hip out in pretty grotesque fashion if I've a mind to. I've buckled down on the No S since my birthday and have lost some of that bloated feeling. I'm hoping to get back in my best shape by March/April.

As a pre-teen, even though I was into all sorts of sports, I used to have to slam my hip back where it belonged agains the floor or a door frame. Ick.

Annie G Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have a serious question. I have a weekly session with a personal trainer and while I enjoy it and I know he pushes me more than I push myself, I have to know this: WHY do I need to work my butt muscles? The day after I work out with this guy, my butt hurts. During the workout he asks me if I can feel certain areas he's trying to work on, and I need that because that lets me know whether I'm doing it right or not. (For instance, some exercises need to work my abs but I can compensate by relying on my arms. Doing so will not achieve the results, so I appreciate him telling me where I should be feeling it. ) I'm nearly 54 and I have no desire to have a fabulous butt. I just want to get in shape, and it's working, but WHY do we work our gluteal muscles? If it's to lose excess fat, well, ok, but I have fat in other areas so let's forget about my butt for a while.

AnnE-girl Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I haven't been on the computer to post much this week. I've done my "Wedding Workout" video every morning, but running has not happened. I've had a combination of Aunt Flo, DD with an ear infection [i did recommend SWB's books to the nurse who really wants to homeschool the second time we were at the doctor's this week. There isn't a visible perforation, but the eardrum still looks really angry and there's some "stuff" coming out.], and feeling in my throat that I might be coming down with DD's cold. I'm very much the Princess and the Pea when it comes to running on the treadmill--I need to feel just right. I need to get over it if I'm going to have a good race come May, but it's just hard. Yes, I know that sounds whiny. On the upside, I have felt good-sore from my workout DVD all week :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Why we work out our butts. Thanks for the video link! I have so many other weak areas that it's interesting that he's focusing on that this week. But I'm going with it and we'll see how it goes. I will admit that I was a bit sore today and it actually made doing the exercises easier because when I was doing them with proper form, I could feel my abs and butt. Ugh. I am old.

Ausmumof3 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 First half of Jillian michaels fat blasting workout. I have a question for you more experienced ladies. I can generally only do about half an hour both in terms of energy levels and time. Is it ok to take a 50 min workout and split it over two days as long as you warm up and cool down either side? There's so many more options for the longer workouts. Also I keep getting a bit of tightness between the shoulder blades after working out. Are there any tricks for that? Thx and thx for the ongoing inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I got up ready to do HIIT and realized that today is a scheduled optional low impact cardio day. Well, shoot. I'm sore from yesterday (didn't realize how much I was working my back throwing my punches) so I quickly pulled up this stretching video and now I'm off to take my doggie for a walk. To those of you who have been long time exercise thread posters along with me I want you to know that I have learned my lesson and I now force myself to take my scheduled breaks. I still love to workout and do so as hard as I can as many times as I can, but I make myself back off. I figure I should be nice to myself because my body really does have the upper hand if it decides to teach me a lesson by something breaking. :lol: I may or may not throw in a light video today at some point.

Annie G Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I made it to the gym every day this week. That is a first for me, and I'm feeling pretty good. I don't expect to make it every day so when life gets busy and I don't go, I'm ok with that. Usually over the winter I lose most of the progress I made cycling the season before and every spring I have to start at the beginning. Not so this year. Right now I'm in better shape than I was at the end of last fall's riding season. Really wishing I lived where I could ride outside year round!!

I actually love hijacking these threads because I know these people, I know what they do, and I know whether I'm in their league or not. Plus, since the thread only lasts a week you don't have to be concerned about derailing it. Things that have helped my diet (as in habit of eating, not temporary change): 1. We do not buy juice or soda. We all (including 1YO) have water bottles and drink A LOT of water. 2. Veggies for lunch. Sometimes roasted brussels sprouts, sometimes carrots and hummis. Either is easy to prepare. 3. Recovery drink. After you work out you can eat a $3 meal with 650 calories or a $0.50 shake with 90 calories. Which $ounds better? 4. Meal planning/OAM cooking. We do not have pizza for dinner twice a week because something better was planned. 5. We do not have unhealthy food in this house. We do not have ice cream. We do not have chips. This does not mean that we can't go out for ice cream if we want to or that I can't get a Milky Way when I'm mental, oops I meant menstrual, but I can't just grab a handful of cookies everyday after lunch because we don't have any.

Kim in Appalachia Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So sleep has been an issue for me this week, but I've still been active. I can't remember if I posted Wednesday. I ran 4 miles, then did kettlebell later in the day. Thursday was my yoga day and that instructor was as incredible as ever. I go into the city on Thursdays for my kids, but that woman's class is worth an hour drive. Friday I ran 3miles and did some strength work. Focused on upper body as well as TGUs Today I ran 5 miles and did a tiny bit of core work, then went and scrubbed my bathroom (I think that counts). Anne G, apparently the butt muscle is the new thing to focus on. Weak glutes are said to cause other issues, so trainers are focusing on those. When you are older you will be thankful for strong glutes. :) I fine with talking about diet. Right now I've been trying the VB6 thing, but I've switched it up to trying to do 2 vegan meals a day (sometimes I have eggs for breakfast, so then I try to have a vegan dinner. I love eggs.). My goal is health oriented. I keep reading about the benefits of a plant based diet, so I've been trying to eat more veggies. I don't always stick to it, but I think I'm eating cleaner around 75 to 80% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
