The Do You Work Out Zone

[Jet]

This happens it could be weeks before you regain motion in the delt area.
The rotator in my left shoulder is injured so...

I treat it with 800 miligrams of ibuprofen
Ice with arm elevated
And a tennis ball.

Hold a tennis ball against the wall and lean into it with the shoulder area that's painful. Hold it there for 90 seconds.

I'm so excited!! I put my "beater bike" together (this bike I've had since 1998 and I've put about 35,000km on it in its lifetime). Now I just need to find my helmet and at least one of my bike panniers. Then I should be able to bike to work next week. I was thinking that I might need to get an overhaul on it but it seems to be in decent shape.

I use the glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM combination, it really does work. I have MAJOR arthritis in my left knee and shoulder.

Well I made high protein pancakes this morning. You can find the recipe on the previous page.

I can't say enough about P90x weight loss/muscle building program.
I integrated it in my weight lifting regimen. I'm on a mission to lose weight and P90x's
core synergistic and yoga routines are amazing. They hit muscles I didn't even know I had.

And get my diet closer to a raw vegan diet. Later today or tomorrow I'm going to put my bikes together and clean up the beater bike to use next week to bike to and from the facility I'll be teaching at (30 min ride based on Google maps).

And once I start unpacking I should (hopefully?) find my P90X DVDs and I can start doing that. I did get some pushup aids as well as some power blocks. So it's all coming together.

I love P90X. This will be my forth week coming up.

Does anyone have any juicer recommendations?

I was considering the Omega, Champion, and Greenstar (because I usually drink vegetables) juicer, but then someone who has used all three over many years has been talking me into getting a higher end Breville model because the payoff in time/ease of cleanup is greater than the payoff in yield/efficiency.

before my car accident i was 115lbs. i lifted weights everyday and martial arts 5 nights a wk 3 hours a night. i was bed ridden for 2 months then in a wheel chair for almost a yr. i gained 100lbs in a little over a yr. now i am back in the gym training harder then ever. not into martial arts again yet but working on it

I have a Breville under 100 bucks amazon and love it. Over the years I've spent hundreds of dollars. I love it and it is easy to clean. If you spend too much time cleaning you are less likely to juice. I juice daily.

I also have a vitamix and make smoothies but to be be honest I'm more likely to juice. I dont always like the texture of some veggies in a smoothie

i tore mine in half during my car accident. omg i'd rather break my femur again. rotator cuff injuries are nasty

P90x looks brutal. I hate to workout but I love my ab circle and started doing QiQong which is like tai chi. Maybe because my week is so busy picking up stuff, cleaning up after dogs, yard, garden, etc.

I have discovered something recently about myself that took many moons to "get"... that my obsession with my body and my thinking around food needed to change. I stopped dieting and stopped freaking out about it. I used common sense and my focus was more on nutrition and healing. Then I did things that helped me move and over time I moved more. I think a big problem with people today is that they dont play enough, move freely without stress and effort. Add meditation and your entire life begins to change.

it isn't my rotator cuff as i thought. its almost the entire shoulder. im typing with one hand, the other one is holding up ice.

any doctors, PAs or Nurses in the house? It feels like my arm is going to fall off from the shooting pain.

I'm a ma I would say Ice and ibuprofen but if you are in that much pain go to see an orthopedist and get an x-ray to see if any ligaments are torn..good luck

[Gemme]

Organic and I are getting back into the swing of things after nearly a week off (we really need to work on our continuity) and are doing weight training and cardio. Pretty basic, but it's much better than doing nothing at all.

Jet, you really should see a medical doctor to ensure that it's not just a pinched nerve or soreness. It could be worse. And, may also want to consider visiting a sports therapist, if at all possible. They can make recommendations as to how best workout (if at all) until the shoulder heals fully.
