Finding a way around set-backs

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." -Confucius

So once again, I find myself with a problem. My wonderful wrist is still nonfunctional, which leaves me with a big questions. How will I work out today?

Injuries happen: they are an unfortunate fact of life. Some people may see injury as a reason for quitting: working out made this happen, so that means I shouldn't exercise at all. This is a super negative way to think. Instead, injury means you have to limit or change what you are doing, not stop.

So today, and probably for the rest of the week I have to do only exercises that don't stress my wrist. Which means no upper body workouts. My legs are going to be jacked.



Today, I started with my 5 mile run, just to get me going, then followed it with yoga to see how bad that would stress my wrist (it wasn't exactly a walk in the park but I did it).

All body weight today:

3X through:

Plie squat (10)
Side lunge (10/side)
AD/AB (10 each)
Supine glute bridge with single leg march (10/leg)

Legs up: forward-side-side crunches (10)
Alternating toe touches (20)
Scissors (30 sec)
Flutter kicks (30 sec)
