Still doing weekly 150 min cardio but part of that is doing a walk run combo. I am very gradually starting to jog again. Doing this on the treadmill. In the past I think my strategy was too much too soon and I got swelling in back of my knee. I am doing pre run and post run stretches. Twice to three times a week I am doing pilates.

Just finished week 2 of the beginner videos. These along with my physiotheropist exercises (ironically enough are core focused too) have definitely helped my lower back pain.

The crazy part is, I've blown what I said here out of the water. I made this video when I first launched, I'd had incredible progress with my back pain, was back at rugby, lifting weights etc. I'd left my 14 year career to become a self employed instructor helping people overcome back pain and much more. A massive risk for many reasons, not least that my other half had left her job at a BIG pay cut as we were planning to have a baby, AND we had just basically doubled our mortgage. All at once. And even with all that I knew it was worth the risk. The madness is that the results I speak about in that video, which I filmed when I was around 34 in May 2020 (another major factor, Covid lockdown after 7 months self employed) - the madness, is that those results are old news. Now at 40 I lift way heavier, my mobility is better, and I have less pain than ever. Please let this give you hope that, if you are struggling with back issues or anything else, you can absolutely improve your situation 💪 Here to help if you need anything!
