Some times in life you have to stop and look back over the path that you’ve travelled to determine if the path laying ahead is still taking us to the right destination. It’s not uncommon when you’re working towards a specific goal to stop and re-evaluate from time to time, it’s actually very beneficial and could save you a lot to time and effort. After all, things change. Sometimes it’s things within our control and other times it’s things out of control. Either way, we can still travel a path albeit possibly a different one that will still get us to our chosen destination.
This is where I’m at now. I have a long term health and fitness goal as you all know and I had recently stopped to re-evaluate where I was at with it. My body has been having some women’s and health issues so these become a higher priority to address. So for the moment I’m going to take a detour that will obviously add to the length of time it’ll take to achieve my goal but in the end I’ll still end up at the exact same destination. I’ve stopped doing what I was doing in regards to my training and have moved into something different, rehab & prehab training. My focus at the moment is rehabilitation and preventhabilitation (and yes I know that this isn’t a real word, it’s simply made up LOL!!). I have injuries and aliments that need rehabilitation like both my shoulders as well as my body preventhabilitation. My tendons are pretty much clicking on every single joint I have, a lot (too many to list) of my muscle groups are tight with limited flexibility and my range of movement throughout my entire body also needs a lot of work. So with the help of some new resources from some experts in the industry who work with injured athletes I’m going to get this body back in better working condition then ever before. My tools of the trade now in the gym are body weight dynamic stretches, resistance bands and a physio roller. I’m actually learning and retaining so much more about my skeletal and muscular system than I was when I was studying which is great! Just hopes it lasts. LOL!!
Here’s what I’ve bought to help me out:
★ Magnificent Mobility ~ 10 Minutes to Better Flexibility, Performance & Health
★ Inside-Out ~ The Ultimate Upper Body Warm-up
★ Assess & Correct ~ Breaking Barriers to Unlock Performance
I have two out of the three resources, one’s still on it’s way in the mail and will hopefully arrive here soon. So in the meantime I’ll be putting together a full body rehab & prehab program until I start to feel results and then I’ll stop and re-evaluate again. I’ll post my new program up next week so you can see what I am doing, hopefully you’ll get something out of it too.
So what do you do to help yourself when you’re faced with these issues?
