Today, I had my assessment at the physical therapist re: my chronic back issues. The appointment was long and thorough. I left with seven exercises/stretches to help my back. The majority of these stretches are yoga-related or stretches I used to back in Chico post-exercise. Oddly enough, I never had back issues in Chico once I began a steady exercise routine. Hmmm…
When I started out trying to set the exercise habit, I took yoga classes to insure I would exercise for a full-hour. If left to myself, I could quit halfway through but, due to my social anxiety, there is no way I would leave a class early. Once I became pretty strong in yoga, I started trying to incorporate more cardio exercise. I took zumba a few times until I started getting dizzy during some of the movements. Then, I had a personal trainer for a few sessions that showed me a routine that I kept up (expanding difficulty and duration) until I had my hysterectomy.
So, reflecting back, I believe I shall start my babysteps back….After my back is sufficiently healed by PT, I will start adding additional yoga to my routine. I cannot wait to feel strong again!
