... except that a nasty muscle spasm returned in my back Monday night. I went to the massage therapist Tuesday. Wednesday, things seemed to be better. Then, this morning I thought I felt it again. Hopefully it's just healing and that is what I feel. I think I'll use the hot pack again today.
Sunday evening, I went to a yoga class at church and then on Tuesday morning, when I got up with the pain, I did another yoga video from YogaToday.com. I did this week's free one, which is "Cultivating Friendliness with Twisting Postures." I really like their videos, but I wouldn't purchase a membership because our internet connection clogs so much in the evening that streaming is out of the question. Mornings seem to be ok. So, I purchased a couple to have around. I did "Happy Hips and Hamstrings" last night. I think one of my issues with squats is tight hamstrings, so I thought it would be good. I also purchased "Prevent Sciatica with Yoga" which should also have some hamstring work in it.
This morning I did Rachel Cosgrove's metabolic workout. Some of the exercises were awkward, some were very challenging. I think I'll get more out of it as I become more familiar with the exercises. I did one set of each. I think I'll have to work up to 2 sets. For now, it's too much!. It was nice to have the interval timer on my Garmin to time the exercises.
