Had a crash on mountain bike back in January and couple ligaments snapped in the ankle, time for a fix and upgrade in a form of some braces there.
Hospital drugs were amazing. Woke up after only 3 hours of sleep but felt great, had a good core workout and even dug up my laptop to do some work I was excited to get on to. Somehow high as kite and brain on overdrive managed to solve a problem in backlog that’s been stressing me out for some weeks already.
Got out later that day, and after a great lunch and some more legally obtained narcotics managed to get couple more hours of sleep in. Evening was some good slack and watching TV with wife.
Next day started strong, woke up very early but felt rested and after a cup of coffee a good short workout again. Sit-ups straight and lateral, push-ups, biceps, triceps.
Feels good right now, hoping to keep the motivation up going for the next 3+ months without mountain biking. How do you fellas keep up the spirits and motivation to keep training through injuries? Any fun stories to share? I’m probably going to spend a lot more time in Lemmy for a bit, might start spamming this comm too a bit ;)
I’ve had several stitches and broken bones but it beats having hypertension and diabetes or whatever else.
I don’t usually train through injuries, just take a little break and find some other exercises to keep my body moving and my heart pumping, if I can.
Yeah exactly. I personally have very weak core and something like lumbar lordosis, so trying to focus on that while the leg is resting couple months
