Try half an hour walking a day great for burning fat in my opinion better than HIT Good idea on the journal mate, I ought to get more serious about mine again |

Contrary to what I said in my first post - it seems I haven't got my lower back problem under control... After my HIIT on Tuesday, I felt very slightly tight in my lower back on Wednesday so I didn't go to the gym - nothing unusual though. On Thursday I felt fine. Did my warm up (a 3 min walk and some stretching) then went to the rack to do rack pulls. I had loaded the bar with 2 x10kg and was setting up the plastic step-up thing when I stood up and got a shooting pain horizontally across the middle of my back. I haven't had that for well over a year now. So stupid me ignores it - does one set of rack pulls - then decides to do some HIIT instead. Felt fine during that, went home - went to shave and bang comes the shooting back pain again. So I took some ibuprofen and spent the rest of the evening on my side in bed with an ice pack. Next morning I was getting ready to go to work and putting my socks on and back came the shooting pain. So I took the day off and spent it lying down. Have more or less spent the weekend lying down too. Haven't had any re-occurrence of the pain (then again I got the wife to put my socks on LOL). I don't feel any other pain (well my neck ain't so great either - just a dull ache though). I've got an appointment with the doctor tomorrow first thing. Dunno if they'll refer me to a physio or not. Its pissed me off - I thought I knew all the warning signs, but I don't think I got any this time. So I think I'll be off the weights for at least a month (if my memory serves me well)... |

A much less joint impact than any HIT work. |

Not really sore - just very unconfortable at times. Fat boy - I have been listening to my body, this just came out of nowhere. Anyways, a week later and I think this might just have been a passing pull. At least that's what the doctor said. Apart from the sciatica I haven't had any pain at all since the weekend. Have had some tightness in my lower back so going to start stretching it a couple of times a day and head to the gym tomorrow. Will just stick to cardio and stretching for the first week though, see how it goes. |
