Started back on this since it’s the only cardio I can do that’ll keep my heart rate up. I’m still recovering from an ankle injury, so I’m doing this and mixing in some exercises.

Only doing 1 session a day, but ima try to add in another one after I keep up consistency.

I could go out for a jog, but if I roll my ankle I’ll do more damage. Rather not chance it, especially on the shytty sidewalks.

Ankle injuries are the fukking worst. I dropped down from a set of pull ups and landed on a med ball (which I had moved out of the way so I wouldn't land on, but it rolled back :sadbron:) a month ago and my right ankle is still noticeably bigger than the left, still feels heavy, still hurts if I move it past what should be normal range of motion. It's been a whole month :damn:

Are you doing the RICE treatment? Doctor visit? X-Ray? My swelling lasted 2 weeks. Doc prescribed me some pills for it to go down. Your shyt sounds bad. :huhldup:

Ligament damage takes long to heal. I’m 3 months post injury. Im hoping I’m not having much issues 3 months from now. shyt can take up to a year to fully heal. :francis:

:mjlol: I laid on the floor for a few mins because I felt it up in my knee too, hobbled to a bench, then finished my sets ( I think I had 2-3 left, pull up/push up/loaded carries), was swollen literally twice the size of the other ankle by the time I got to my car, then had to go to the grocery and pharmacy, didn't miss any days in the gym. I did ice at home and did wrap it for about a week but wrapping it up bothered me more than going without so I stopped and just kept up my normal schedule. I stopped doing ice because that was also hurting more than the actual pain. I just pushed through, although I've been very conscious of it during anything I do.

Too late now, it's been a month and it's better but visually you can tell there's been an injury still. I figured I probably tore a tendon or something. It didn't stop me or impact my work outs so :yeshrug:

Has anyone fukked up their back doing this? I finally added 2 workouts (RHC and Fat Burner) on a daily basis about a week and a half ago. I started getting back pain last week. Stopped on Friday, now my pain is worse. :francis:

You might not be stretching evenly through your back... it's easy to fall into and will prob ease over time, but you need to make sure that every vertebra is creating the stretch/bend, not just one in the top/middle/base doing all the bending for the rest.

Pay attention to all the set up steps... having your feet planted, your legs and hips activated, your chin tucked to protect your neck and really using the resistance through the movement should force you into doing it right, but if you don't have a great starting point - it might take some time to loosen up well enough. Oh and the breathing is REALLY important. It honestly doesn't work if you're not breathing down into your belly - have a few goes at the basic breathing tutorials so it becomes second nature.

Concentrate on keeping your shoulders in the right position as you move through the movement - your body will want to subconsciously compensate and make it easier for you, but that way lies bad habits and damage.

My back used to be totally fukked - sometimes I would just do 20 mins trying to coax it into doing a perfect Diamond Cutter rather than doing a whole routine. Still do that for 10-15 mins before bed every night to try and undo bad habits from a day sat at my desk.

This isn’t my first time doing this. I already have about 4 months total. I started back up in June. Back pain started last week. Maybe I’m stretching too far and it’s not too good for my body size. I’m :flabbynsick:

Might be from the DC, cobra, and up dog where I overstretch. :ld:

I’m hoping it’s because of that and not other possible problems. Never had this kind of back pain.

If you have back pain or herniated discs, don’t do any of the exercises where you need to bend or do sit-ups/crunches

They’ll put a lot of pressure on your discs.

Unfortunately with DDP yoga that’s most of the exercises.

Guess I gotta eliminate RHC for now. Sucks because I was getting better with certain moves. :francis:

I can't do anything right now to drop weight. :beli:
