Still alive

My lower back pain is still around but doesn't mean I'm just sitting around and do nothing. In fact I've been doing lots of yoga! Believe it or not, yoga helps ease up the pain. Also hubby got me a fitness ball so I've been doing crunches on it. And still working on my pushups as well!!

Dang, updating a blog w/ my crackberry surely painful!

Lower back pain = overtraining?

According to this post on this blog:

Guess I'll take my rest day today.

Bodyweight workouts with lower back pain still

My lower back pain hasn't eased up yet, but not as bad. I still can't bend down or leaning forward. However, anything with bending backwards eases up the pain a bit

Back Extensions 25 reps
Squats 25 reps
