Hurt Back

[JoseGU]

Hi Lynda,

I am in week 3 of the base/weight lose plan. I did a funny movement early Monday morning and hurt my back. I am moderate pain but stiff and if hurts when I look to the side.

Jose,

Sorry to hear about your back – bummer.

The first thing you need to do prior to resuming training or making any training plans is to get an accurate diagnosis of your injury. Injuries as you describe can be minor or serious. Go see a medical specialist for a diagnosis.

Hi Lynda,

You are right! I took completely OFF today. I will be seeing the doc tomorrow morning at 9.00am. I will let you know what he says but for sure no training today nor tomorrow.

Thanks

Jose.

Jose,

Pick up on the plan where you would have been if nothing happened. Forget about the missed days and move on. Cut back on the ride duration on Saturday and Sunday if anything hurts or doesn't feel right.

That will put you on week #4 next week which is a recovery week and exactly the type of comeback week you need to ease back into regular training after such a show stopper muscle contracture.

Will do, thanks.
