After throwing out my back by sitting....I took a day of complete rest and was back to normal the following day :)
I started my Turbo Fire workouts and they are crazy! I am mostly a long distance runner (with some swimming, biking, and weights thrown in for fun). I don't jump high, kickbox, or move in quick movements. Long distance running is all about pacing yourself and endurance. I'm excited to be tackling something completely different from my "normal" training. I won't be dropping my regular workouts, just adding this in as a little extra. I'm thankful that at this point most of the workouts are 30 minutes or less. I will have to get creative when they start getting longer.
After an injury it is advised that you only increase your running distance 10% each week. Last week I hit 6.25 before my knee started acting up. This week my goal was 7 miles. Check it's done and my knee felt great the ENTIRE time!!!! I have to add in that I did this run right AFTER completing a HIIT workout (only 15 minutes long)..my legs felt pretty heavy toward the end :)
So all is well in the land of Amy killing herself and loving every minute of it :)
