How to Get Back On Track After Injury/Break. Or Not? Fitness, Weight Loss and Motivation
video description
I specialize in human kinetics, posture and restorative exercise, nutrition, and exercise psychology (body image focused. I have a degree in psychology and health and exercise science and hold multiple advanced certifications. Since I became a personal trainer over 15 years ago, I saw so many people struggle with their bodies- it was never just as straightforward as simply diet and exercise. I have been searching to understand how it all works together ever since. Our bodies and minds are so deeply interconnected and I see that you recognize that. I also see you hurting and I want to help you. I-m not sure what kind of recovery you are in or if you have seen a physical therapist but there are some super basic changes you can make throughout the day with your posture that will have a huge impact on your recovery. Both the disc and the sciatica are issues that can be caused caused by anterior pelvic tilt and rib flare (things that I know all about because I struggle with them myself. I noticed in that other video I watched that you have some of the same characteristic signs of APT, the same ones I had, and that-s really good news because it-s totally fixable and it could potentially make all the difference for your recovery. Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you- I hope you feel better soon and if you have any questions or would like some more info, I-m happy to help.

You can read my mind! Been off tracking, exercises, eating well, even drinking water for about 2 weeks now. But it's the 1st, it's back to work for me full time, it's sort of the start of a new year for me (school year) so now is the perfect time! In my head I'm starting from scratch (I'm not starting fully from scratch but it helps with motivation) I have a new diary I can log everything in and I'm ready to do this -- This week I'm focusing on hitting my calories again, drinking water and getting my steps in. Plus I will be starting your program (which I got a couple months ago -) on Monday. New school year new start! -

Hey, great video, thank you for putting it out. I am having an undifferentiated autoimmune disease and I don't take medication because it does not help me at all with my symptomes, but then I am all the time fatigue, having pain in some of my muscles and joints and never ever have enough energy to do all the things what I would like to do.
So literally ever day for me, it is kind of difficult to be on track so seeing that I am not the only one struggling from time to time, helps me staying positive. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. I got diagnosed with crohns disease 2 years ago. Before the diagnosis I was running 5 days a week, doing so much other exercise as well. I'm now 2 stone heavier after all my operations and steroid treatments. I'm finally ready to try and get back to being fit and healthy. I was so weak at one point I could barely wash/dress myself. As a mother of 2 this was obviously devastating. Please keep posting -. Nice to see an actual influencer being really honest about set backs x

As someone with chronic pain, it is frustrating to not know what will cause a set back and see others do -normal- activities that you can-t. But honestly, take it slow and know that this will pass. There are brighter days ahead of you and your recovery mental as well as physical health is what-s important. So take that bubble bath or simply sit outside and soak in the sunshine that you-ve been meaning to do. Strive to get better! We all believe in you!

I ruptured my ACL 2 years ago in a football match. Came back last August from it, had about 2 months until I reinjured myself in a tackle that went very wrong. I ruptured my meniscus, cartilage as well as cracking my kneecap. My surgeon told me I-ll never play football or contact sports again. I-m only 16. Over lockdown I started focusing on weights and resistance training, low impact of course. I feel so much better and I-m ready for my operation x

Yes! Please share what you-ve done to help heal your psoriasis. My husband has psoriatic arthritis and currently takes a shot each month to prevent the psoriasis. He is 34.
Before taking the shots he would use topical creams as well as doing a AIP diet for a year and saw a lot of improvement but after we moved he went back to eating whatever and his psoriasis was spreading over large amounts of his body, so we went to trying shots.

This jist happened to me last week. I have a herniated disc that gets re-injured sometimes and I was out for a week because of it. It finally stopped but I gave myself one more week to heal before starting to workout again. and I've been eating way too much too. However, i didn't let it stress me even though my progress is fading. So glad to see this video and I really hope you feel better soon! -

Thank you SO MUCH for being real. I feel like I experience constant setbacks as soon as I start trying to come back from a previous setback (tennis elbow, pinched nerve, ankle sprain, you name it). It's a bit comforting to know it isn't just me that this happens to. Looking forward to the rest of your journey - I think it will be inspiring for many. Hang in there and be well -

So sorry to see you suffering so much, Lucy. I had a similar summer, due to coronary issues, but found it very hard to accept the situation. I hope your sciatica is improving. Stay strong. Sending you good energy! looking forward to seeing you better, and the healing journey too! xxx
