J'Bo

Well i am SERIOUSLY discouraged. Thursday night i went to gymnastics and i tore my left hip flexor. I am in so much pain now that i cant even put socks on by myself. I am going to have to lower my calories til i can do cardio again i am not taking a break but i cant train legs and that makes me sad. my entire leg is swollen and i cant climb the stairs without having to lift my leg with my amrs so no snowboarding for me this weekend i dont think and i wont be performing next weekend. i cant risk staying injured because of the dance team, the competitions are my number one goals so getting better is my priority. for now i am going to go hot tub and stretched then ice it and relax. after i train upper body that is

greekblondechic

OMG hon I am SOO sorry about your injury!!!!!!

I hope you feel better soon, definately let it heal and relax and go to the doc if you need to! Be careful!

Feel better soon!!!!!!
And dont be discouraged, you're too good at what u do to let this hold you back, just let it heal and you will be FINE

J'Bo

J'Bo

Thanks hun. I dont really have time to rest it but i am taking it easy. I will train single leg light exercises and ice and heat it all the time. Going to lay off the legs and cardio today and then go for a massage treatment twice this week

JLB001

J'Bo try and stay on track. I've done the hip flexor thing before and its painful!

greekblondechic

Ohh massage!

Go all out spa, hair nails body treatments etc and call it injury rehab

sara

I'm so sorry to hear about your accident J'Bo

jstar

I hope you heal up fast J'Bo! You still have a lot of time so it shouldn't affect your progress too much--Your doing fantastic btw!

hardasnails1973

j'bo up glutmine to 5 grams every meal with 1,000 ngs of vitamin c every 2-3 hours. This will aid in recovery. Get brad to massage it and you will be fine. I don;t thnk you tore it or you wouldn't be able to move. Lower caloires by 15-20% to avoid accumaltion of fat (like if thats really possible with you) I suggest if you are in active to get sans tight. I have a few people including my self on it and i feel like on epheerine with out being on ephederine. Jus hang in there and about 1-2 weeks you be feeling better. I know you don;t want to hear this but use some Naposyn or some kind of antni inflammatory to help accessorate recovery, this is only a temporary set back. And as a competitor you relize there will be sacrifices ...you just have to set priorities in line and take it from there. Get better hun

J'Bo

yes my priorities are all good

i am upping my glutamine and still lifting and going to do cardio in the pool (i figured it all out) this isnt keeping me down i ate good all day and heat and iced it throughout the day. tomorrow i will train quads and triceps but do it VERY carefully and bring ice to the gym. I will do single legged movements and barely lift with the left.

Hey coach i am gonna pm you what i think i should change for the diet if you could please give me some feedback.

i am off to a semiar right now but will be back tomorrow.

gots my ice on my crotch for the seminar

thanks guys

ps HAN...therapist said i have a minor tear in 2 places but it wont keep me down i will take some anti inflams tomorrow after my workout...but you know i hate taking drugs

shortstuff

Hey hun so sorry to hear, I just saw this, hope things get better

Good things come to those who wait........

jstar

Hey J'Bo
I am sure HAN will offer you great suggestions for training around your injury. One suggestion for leg exercises maybe hit some poses or do some flexing of those muscles to keep them hard. I do this in addition to my leg wo and it seems to help. Just an idea since you have limited options with your leg workouts right now. Cardio in the pool is a great idea - good luck with all this.

I been talkin to you all weekend and you never mention this
Hope your better babe Take care
