It's the morning-after-injury stiffness that gets me, where you have to slowly and carefully stretch everything before leaving the bed, all the while the bladder is screaming. If it's just a twinge in your back and not the spine (sciatica is awful), then I bet you'll be back in the gym in no time, Diana 💚

Sorry to hear you tweaked your lower back. That area is the worst to deal with when that happens. Especially, when you try to wak and you are bending over or get stuck needing to get up. I did the same thing a couple weeks ago. I hope it passes quickly.

Supergainz, I don't have a roller but I do use the roller at gym and I have a massage gun. I am feeling better tonight. I think my old body is just telling me to rest! JB, It's more than a twinge but it is better tonight. I've been stretching all day and took ibuprofen.

Mermee, thanks! I'm headed to gym in a bit and will do what I can do. Leaving on a months vacation tomorrow. Wanted to go having my weight low but looks like that won't happen. Oh well, I've got my weights and I'll do utube videos and zoom classes plus they have a small gym where we are going. Take care!!💜💜💜💜💜

The problem with getting older is I never know if the pain I feel is being caused by my workout or the arthritis I know is progressing. Hope your back gets better so that you can get packed (been there...it's a lot of work) & enjoy your trip.

Diana, stretching can be a lifesaver! I don't look at it as a separate exercise/workout, that's where it can be easily 'put off'. Every exercise session starts with a full slow and easy stretch then treadmill, warm up, then onto ..... Diana, believe me please, doing this will save you a lot of pain in the future. Looking forward to your vacation photos as I'm 'stuck' here. Have a great day :-)

Diana - I know what you mean about being ready before you go on vacation! We are getting ready for a vacation and want to be in my zone before we go so that hopefully I don't de-rail to bad. Although the trainer told us to just enjoy vacation, don't track macros and he said it will come off fast when we get back. Enjoy your vacation! On my bucket list when I retire is a cruise thru the Panama canals so leave from Florida and come back up thru California.

Oh Diana, that's not a gelpful situation. Sure hope those muscles and nerves get settled back to being happy, so you can continue with your workouts. 💕

Livinbreezy, I totally agree...I do a warm up before every workout and stretching after I'm done. That's why I can't figure out how I did it ..💜💜
