Ugh, I can’t believe it! All because of stupid jumping jacks! I’m not in good shape currently, and I’m guessing I overdid it. Or maybe my form isn’t good.
Here’s what happened.
Last week I did my first exercise circuit. It went well. But my right calf was a bit sore afterwards and bothered me all week long. Not so much that I couldn’t continue with my other exercise, so I basically ignored it.
Yesterday I was doing my circuit again, and as soon as I started the jumping jacks, I could feel something pull in my right calf. I managed to finish those 25 jumping jacks with some pain. I did my circuit once, and should have done it another two times, but didn’t. Looking back, I should have just modified the jumping jacks, so that is what I will do the rest of this week. The other exercises don’t bother me, so I will do either 25 standing jacks or 1 minute jogging in place until my calf feels better.
I will not let this slow me down!

Wishing you a speedy recovery…and a kick butt comeback!
Great attitude! Good for you!! Hope you heal fast.
Good luck with your recovery! Injuries suck because they can cause such big setbacks.

Rest well, heal, and then attack again! 🙂
Thank you! I will keep moving (carefully), and add the jacks back in as soon as I can. They’re a great calorie burner!
You haven’t lived until you do burpees. 🙂
Ugh, I hate burpees! They’re part of my circuit, because I want to prove to myself they will get easier. Some day soon I WILL be able to do a real one, instead of my current modified version.
