There are two parts of the body that I have learned to respect when they have pain: the back and the knees. I had to take a short break from my challenge for day 9 and 10. I had a horrible pinching in my lower left back. I could even feel a small knot where the pain was. Back bends on Day 8 were very difficult, so I decided to honor that pain and get some rest. It sucks to have to take a break this early on, but unfortunately, it's necessary.
Luckily, I'm feeling better today and am contemplating an outdoor rooftop session tonight. The conditions will be perfect (105 degrees, 50% humidity) and it will definitely be a new experience!
Feeling any better? Listen to your body, don't push through the pain - it can get really ugly really fast. If you need to slow down, do it. It will only make you stronger!!
ReplyDeleteI am feeling better, however I'm going to modify the last two weeks of my challenge. I think I tried to jump into this a little too fast. That's how you get injured. I'll post more on this later. :)
