Restarting… slowly.
Thursday, July 12th, 2007Wow, my back seems completely healed! And my brachialis tendon is feeling much better. My doctor has given the go-ahead to resume weigh training… slowly, so my trainer has me on a light full-body workout two times a week. I go through a specific workout with my trainer one day, then repeat that routine on the second workout by myself. Then we change the workout the next week, and so on.
It’s frustrating to keep the weights so light for now, but necessary. I do cardo three days (typically an hour on the treadmill and or/split with the life-cycle), and rest two days. I’m hoping everything holds up!

I have lost several inches in my waist, and my body fat % is getting low enough now that my trainer is planning to move me from "leaning & conditioning" to strength training in a few weeks time, moving to some free weights. Yeah!
