I think I mentioned in a previous post that I hurt my shoulder. Well, just my luck, I hurt the other shoulder last week, and of course, it wasn’t while doing something super-strength awesome. I was sleeping! So uncool. Well, after a visit to rehab, I am under strict orders to stretch and lay off the weights. I guess using 50 lb. dumbbells with a hurt shoulder is a no-no and only leads to another hurt shoulder.
This time I guess I have to obey. With 5 kiddos, I can’t afford an injury that leads to surgery.
So it’s been mostly legs, legs, and more legs lately. I am doing cardio and abs, too, but I feel like lunges, squats, and hamstring curls are getting a little monotonous.
Some of the things that have helped me are
* Working with a trainer
* Stretching
* Adding new music to my iPod
* Setting new cardio goals
* Giving my legs more rest
* New websites
After searching the web, I found a great website called Sarah Fit. It helped me find new things to break up some of my routines and add some new exercises to my toolbox. Here’s an example below (I particularly like the lunges with the knee lift):
Have a great weekend!
