| Kim...I whole heartedly agree with your babysteps! I just received a stress fracture from jumping into a program that was too advanced for me...better this week, but I had to go through 2 weeks of crutches and pain.
I had completely forgotten about the increase of 10% each week when starting to exercise. I had been a faithful walker...but changing to another routine (with impact) almost did me in. My excitement in completing the relays and runs hid my pain...til the last day!
Had I read your post weeks ago...then maybe I would have slowed my little tibias down a bit!
I'm using my weights and getting my arms into shape...slowly! Will get back to short, slow walks...then very slowly add. I go see a therapist next Monday for an evaluation...don't think I need to attend all the prescribed sessions.
Slow is perfectly fine. Moving is the important thing. |
