Afer my cardio day yesterday, my hips were feeling the burn......it was an old familiar feeling that took me back to when I was a little kid.
I was born crippled. My legs were actually turned in and for the most part, my toes pointed backwards and the ball of my leg did not fit properly into the hip socket. When I was diagnosed with this shortly after I was born, I had casts on both of my legs. Every six weeks, they would turn my legs to the correct way they were supposed to be and cast them. This went on for about a year. My Dad told me that wherever we went, people would always ask how the baby broke both of her legs. Growing weary of the questions, my Dad would reply "In a snow skiing accident". Longer story story short, I had the "Forrest Gump braces" on my legs and corrective shoes...I remember the pain of walking and my hips popping out...the cold weather making me ache. Good news is that I haven't had problems in years. The Dr confirmed that I don't have arthritis in my hip area at all. Besides my wide feet (the casts did that) I really don't have any problems....except when I over work things. But...I press on......I'm not letting this hold me back.....
Today Otto and I did:
Seated box Dips 5 sets of 10 (my body weight)
E-Z curls barbell 5 sets of 10 (30 lbs)
Cable Press downs 5 sets of 10 (25 lbs)
Preacher curls 5 sets of 10 (15 ls)
Wrist Curls -super set 5 lbs 5 sets of 10
Wrist Extension-super set 3 lbs 5 sets of 10
(Active rest between all of this)
Ab work-my worst area, but getting better
Feeling good :)
