There are so many more but these are some I did as I was nursing my torn calf a year ago.

If you’ve resigned to the fact that you just have “bad knees” ..please don’t just assume you need to settle for that. Your lack of proper nutrition could be playing a HUGE role in inflammation, lack of collagen, toxins not being flushed & general healing & mobility. Also, a big no-no & bad for your joints and mobility .. sitting for prolonged periods!

How long have you been sitting where you are now🙈?

Let’s Talk Injuries

Ok, let’s talk injuries!! Who’s injured & what’s your injury???

The science behind kinesio tape aka ktape seems legit! If you have an injury & want to do everything to heal faster, check it out. It’s coming off for the trip to Vegas for Leadership but will get back on it afterwards. Luckily, the higher the heel I wear right now, the better I can walk But constantly wearing wedges may have contributed to this tear . So I will get better about being flat footed more often!

Hotel workouts with a gastroc tear

Hotel workouts with a gastroc tear are not my favorite but there’s always SOMETHING you can do! The worst thing you can do is just go sedentary until it heals up. I am working with some awesome women in my “strength & performance” Group & they’re adopting the same no excuses attitude!
And luckily wearing high heels here in Vegas allows me to walk just fine

Are you Injured?

Are you injured?? Where?

Of course check with your Dr but maybe there are things you CAN DO that don’t aggravate it, but keep you moving & most importantly, enable you to feel on track. Your mindset controls you’re eating too & if you feel all off-track due to an injury, it can take you down a bad, unhealthy path if you let it.
Injured?
I have a hamstring/glute injury from sprinting 2 yrs ago, a wrist sprain from snowboarding with Chalene Johnson 2 wks ago & now a knee tweak from who-knows-what! But I am happiest & healthiest if I just keep moving and am smart about it.

Training while Injured

/in , /by

Can’t teach turbo tonight … Boo!! I’ve been nursing a little injury in my ribs since last week & am going to be cautious a little longer and not rotate or heavily engage my abs 🙁 So I ran & did a spin workout instead. When you’re sick/injured, be smart so you can heal but usually there are SOME things you can safely do without aggravating the injury further. Be creative.. check with your doctor first but try new ways to get strength & cardio in. See it as a maintenance phase until you heal. Nutrition needs to be on point at times like this 🙂
