So I skipped lower body yesterday because my knee was bugging me, hoping that it would be better today so I could do my usual lower body routine, but, alas, it actually hurts worse today. So cool, Im officially injured.
So, I didn’t want to put it off any longer, so I took my lower body workout to the mat to keep the weight off of it.
Being hurt is never a reason not to workout, unless your doctor says so, you just have to make some changes.
I have full range of motion, its just pressure that hurts it, so taking my weight off of it worked fine. It was a lighter workout than I’m used to but I didn’t want to push it just yet.
I did:
Heel tucks w/ Stability ball- 15 reps, 2 sets
1 leg bridges with BOSU- 15 reps each leg, 2 sets
Calf raises- holding 25 lb dumbbell, 20 reps each leg, 2 sets
Donkey Kicks (kind of embarrassing to do in a crowded gym, but whatevs)- 25 reps each leg, 2 sets
I have my photoshoot thing for Breathe magazine on Sunday. Im hoping I can post some of the pics, but I dont know if they want me to show them before the mag comes out, but im sure there will be out takes, so Ill try my best to show ya something.
