Sorry that I haven't posted in a little while. I've been quite busy and frankly forgot about this blog. I started to move on in the steps and my shoulder felt pretty great. However, last Monday I started doing Insanity and working out (like riding bikes and stuff) and on Wednesday I hurt my shoulder again. In the first few days of doing everything my shoulder felt pretty good... I would change the moves as I needed to hopefully not harm my shoulder.
On Wednesday, during an Insanity video, they had a certain push up that worked the triceps. I attempted to do it, and from then on my shoulder has been hurting when doing certain movements. I quit trying to do the rest of that exercise and was extra careful with any other exercises throughout the workout. My shoulder wasn't hurting too bad during the day, it just hurt when I did certain movements. I went back to the heat, massage, and oil step both Saturday and Sunday night. I did some of the easier exercises last night but this morning I woke up to my shoulder absolutely throbbing!
I got the heat pack and continued to massage it afterwards, but the pain was not going away. We were getting ready for our workout and I finally put some oil on my shoulder and it felt better within about five minutes and I was able to do our workout with barely any pain!
I have decided that the oil is definitely an essential part of the pain reduction and I would be in a much worse mood right now if I didn't have it!
I will post again when I continue onto the next step in the recovery process.
