Video of the Week

Injuries from working out can be a serious issue. Always do proper form and take care of yourself outside of the gym. Drink lots of water, watch what you are eating, and make sure you are getting the rest which is needed for muscle repair.

I have mentioned, in the past, my husband injured his shoulder while bench pressing. Although he was doing proper form and being cautious when working out, his left shoulder still gave out on a heavy press. After being misdiagnosed all those years ago, (told it was just sprained), we finally got a second opinion. With one tendon totally ripped off the bone, it was time to have it fixed through surgery. 6-8 weeks of this shoulder contraption, lots of physical therapy and soon he will be hitting the gym again. For this I can't wait. I love my workout partner and appreciate his hard work and dedication even more now that I am in the gym alone. But I must say, after the holidays and now playing nurse, my gym days have been far and few between. Making the right food choices has become very important.

I wanted to share a video workout with you, which will get you moving and motivated for an upcoming week. The instructor is very up beat and easy to workout with. I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you for the prayer of healing for my husband. In no time at all he will be bench pressing, pushups and pullups, and in the best shape of his life.
