Ready to Get Back to it Soon!

This aching ankle is really annoying me. Plus I don’t have much to talk about on my exercise blog!

Yesterday I did Cathe’s Pyramid Upper Body. It had been a while since I’d done that one, so I’d forgotten how great it is. I like that it’s all dumbbells because changing weights on my husband’s barbell is a real pain (I really want a new one). I have major muscle soreness today in my shoulders and back. I am surprised my biceps aren’t sore because that part was killer (hence the quote up top).

I think next week I will start to try to ease my ankle back into action, as I feel it’s getting better. I just won’t do any major jumping. I’ll stick to low impact cardio and I’ll do low weights for lower body work. I’ll also be careful about anything else that might stress the ankle (like none of Cathe’s firewalkers. (For those of you unfamiliar with Cathe, that involves wrapping a resistance band around your ankles and sort of side squatting--hope I’m describing it properly--I haven’t done them in a while!)

I’ll work up a new “Easing back into it” rotation soon and post it.
