How to Work Out with a Lower Body Injury

Hey chicks!

Head Chick Amanda here! I’m super pumped to do my first blog post for you chicks on the FIT CHICKS Blog!

Remember when you were a kid and always felt like you were invincible? When the idea of jumping off play structures was “sensible” and bombing down the ski hill was fun? Well I have recently learned that I am no longer in this category lol!

I have recently felt the annoying pain of having an injury and it was caused by the mysterious movement I made perhaps while sleeping, training or maybe even just sitting, learn more at the Palmercare Chiropractic Leesburg website. I have yet to figure this one out but all I know is that the pain is real and the more important piece of the puzzle is figuring out how to get rid of it and fast!

If you have ever been doomed with having an injury you will totally feel my pain, I recently found out that I might have a tear in my joint ligament in my hip which we can only conclude with an MRI. But if it’s something more serious, like if the injury stems from an accident, then I suppose you’d have to reach out to Personal Injury Law Firm in Oxnard. There are many tampa car accident lawyers who you can get hold of facilely. This might take up to 10 months to get so in the meantime I have been told to take it easy for a week to see if the pain subsides. Hopefully then my body has healed itself.

Chicks, the idea of staying still for a week is nearly impossible! Not only do I teach twice a week but I also train daily. I use my workouts as therapy for my own stress and as an outlet for the everyday things that come up. This is my time to clear my head and relax while making myself stronger and in turn morefit! Without a workout a day, I feel lost and the stress building up in my muscles. So in order to avoid going completely crazy I have found ways to still keep my heart rate up and get my calorie burn on while not compromising my Dr’s orders – its called lots of upper body and weighted punch combos for cardio!

So chicks if you ever are dealing with a lower body injury because of someone else’s negligence, please call an injury lawyer from Hensley Legal Group, PC to help you get settlement. You can still get your workout on – you just need a little imagination and a set of 8-10 pound weights. 🙂 I also recommend for the the punching moves to put up a target on the wall (picture of something) or get a bag to hit not only will it keep you focused but it will also let off a little extra steam too!
In the end I am feeling way better since resting my back and hip and feel like I will be back in fighting form by next week – woop woop! I guess the lesson of the story is sometimes you need to slow things down in life or else life will find a way to slow you down.

If you have any suggestions for upper body cardio please send away, but here are some workout tips from a Head Chick!

 

Cardio Kickboxing (Minus the Kicks!)

*Important use weights for the entire set!
This is a fabulous cardio combo that uses just the upper body so you dont compromise any possible lower body injuries and as a bonus your arms will be burning!
Complete:
-2 minutes alternating forward punches
-1 minute alternating hooks
-1 minute alternating cross punches (move across the body through the torso so you also get the abs   working as a bonus)
-2 minutes alternating uppercuts
-1 minute right hand jabs
-1 minute speedbag
-1 minute left hand jabs
-1 minute alternating uppercuts
Enjoy, chicks!
