Re: Thursday - T-Tapp, Cardio X, Core Synergistics

[Guest guest]

Donna, great workout! I hope you can get your back problems resolved soon.

I know how frustrating it is to be grumpy from being sore.

I got alot done this morning. I started with T-Tapp

Basic sequence to warm-up. Then I did Cardio X -

minus the core stuff. Then, I added on Core

Synergistics minus the warm-up and the bonus round. I

enjoyed both Cardio X and CS - Cardio X isn't very

tough, but you do get your HR up with the Kenpo and

Plyo sections. And, CS is always a challenge on some

level. Today I didn't feel strong at all in the

push-up area and often stopped a few seconds short of

Tony and the Kids. But, I'm wondering if that is

pre-fatigue from doing Cardio X first.

Anyway, I feel pretty good and hope to add in some

extra stretching and/or gentle yoga tonight. My back

is a stiff mess. I'm thinking of ordering the Sacro

Wedge from Amazon - in reading the info on the

website, I think it is my psoas that is causing the

problem. I don't think it is sciatica or piriformis

syndrome as I really don't have pain in my butt and my

leg isn't affected. It is sort of my low/mid back on

the left side and the left hip that is is messed up (I

can tell when laying flat, that my left hip is not

even with my right...). Nothing I'm doing seems to be

fixing it - T-Tapp helped a bit, but it only went so

far. The Miracle Balls helped a bit, but only went so

far. Yoga helps a bit, but only goes so far. I'm

thinking the sacro wedge may be my last home-remedy

resort before I try medical attention - it is very

annoying and makes me grumpy so I want to fix it. I'm

not sure, if I go the medical route if I should try a

chiro, a medical doctor or a physical therapist. I

think it is muscular more than anything else that is

pulling everything out of alignment.

Sorry to ramble on!

Take care,

Donna

Wow, two tonys today!

Donna, have you considered a deep tissue massage for your back? You exercise so

much, maybe there's a tight knot somewhere in there?

I have a dvd called Yoga Back Basics that I'm not using. Would you like it?

I've never done it and it looks easy, but maybe long, slow and thorough woud be

good for it?

Hi ,

Thanks, I hadn't thought about the deep tissue

massage. I do have a big knot in there - I can feel

it on my left side lower/middle back - I think that

came from carrying DD so much - I'm a leftie and

alwasy carried her on my left side. Then, there is

something either related or unrelated going on with my

hip - it is just " out " . I think what I have to do is

MAKE TIME to lay on the miracle ball for up to 15

minutes a session at least once or twice a day. I

think the ball will work in a way similar to the sacro

wedge thing, I may also try massage on the muscle I

can feel. Maybe grinding some tennis balls in there

would work!

And, thanks for the offer of the workout - You know

me, I'll never decline! LOL!

good going donna!!! you sure did fit alot in. im so sorry to

hear that your back is still messed up

im more of the sciatic/piriformis type... im not sure what the

psoas is, will have to look that up.

i wonder if dianne on fitfirmies has responded to this post about

your psoas (im not subbed to fitfirmies anymore), maybe she can give

you some more ideas? have you tried the tennis ball? (which

should be more concentrated and harder than the petrone balls, i

would think). i also wonder about the foam roller for you. but

geeze, i know it is frustrating to buy all of this equipment and

videos and not have them clear up the problem. ::sigh::

Maybe a combination of deep tissue massage and then a chiropractic adjustment (since the body will be so relaxed it will be easy to make the adjustment)?

(who needs both herself)
