Oh yes I did!
So here I was getting up early in the morning to exercise yesterday because I need to have my workout done before Kev goes to work (so I can take care of our kitty who had surgery). So I head out to the home gym and get set up to start Workout A of the Best Body Bootcamp and online personal training with Tina.
I never workout in the morning! But I got right out of bed and was excited to start my day with my workout and be done for the day. Well…
The first move involved the Bosu ball (standing on the flat side of it) and I have never had issues with it before but it was very early in the morning for me and I wasn’t quite wide awake yet. I went to step up on the flat side of the Bosu, two 7 lb weights in hand and next to Slam Man so that I had something to hold on to.
All of a sudden, right after stepping up on the Bosu, I slipped right off, fell onto a large metal door piece hitting my left elbow and left side of my bottom. I also dropped the weights into the wall and split the wall. I got up a bit shocked and hurting but really didn’t want to miss my workout since I just started on this plan. So I waited about 3-5 min. before I went ahead and tried again.
I went on to finish my entire strength and elliptical interval workout however I am paying for it now. I was in a lot of pain all day yesterday and have some pretty nice black & blue bruises to show for it as you can see in this post. Nice! I’ll spare you a picture of my backside lol I had a hard time sleeping last night, every time I turned I hurt. Really did a number on my butt muscle that is for sure. So I am skipping my spin workout for today, I’m actually not going to work out at all today. I’ll have to change my training schedule around to make up for it somehow.
You know, it’s just my luck this would happen! When it rains, it pours. Wish me luck for the rest of the week.
For the 8 week Best Body Bootcamp, we have to pick two goals for each week. My goals for this week are to be in bed by 11 PM and to eat breakfast every morning. Already thinking about my goals for the remaining 7 weeks.
Off to take care of kitty who has to wear a cone and he’s not liking that one bit. He is a little Houdini and wouldn’t keep the plastic one on so they gave us a cloth one to try today. He’s been pulling out his stitches. Couldn’t wait until next Friday when he’s due to get them out.
Hope you’re having a great week!
Anything exciting happen to you lately? *wink*
Yikes! Ouch. Keep at it and I hope you recover fast. This too will pass…promise!
Thanks Heidi! Starting to feel a bit better but man the butt ain’t nothing to play around with even with all this padding. I’ll be back full force before you know it.
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! BOSU balls are deadly. I once ate it when I was doing box jumps … sometimes you just laugh through the tears and truck on! Great job finishing lady 🙂
Thanks Madeline! I still can’t believe I fell off. What a pain, literally. Ouch on the box jumps. And exactly, laugh through the tears…we didn’t die ha ha
At home exercise is dangerous! 🙂 I hope you don’t hurt too much.
Your online personal training program sounds good, especially the very reasonable goals: going to bed early and eating a breakfast!
It can be dangerous lol I’m starting to feel better but every time I sit down in the car or on a chair my bottom hurts ugh
This is only the 1st week of my online personal training and she’s been great in helping me move around my workout schedule to work with my mishap on the Bosu lol
We have been going to bed early and it’s been nice except last night we had family stuff to do and didn’t get home until almost 10:30 PM so needless to say I didn’t hit goal last night. And the breakfast thing…I usually eat it but I’m never up early to workout and it’s weird I don’t feel like eating after I work out so I needed to make myself do it this week and next. Although I’m not enjoying morning workouts so I may change that!
Wow those are some pretty nice bruises. Hope your not in too much pain today but great job on finishing your workout.
Aw, sorry about the fall!!! That looks like a good one! I had to do box jumps w/ a trainer one time. And I was DEATHLY afraid to do it. Don’t know why. I just stood there and stared at it for what seemed like an eternity. When I finally jumped, I did okay and didn’t die like I’d envisioned. But after a few jumps, I did manage to skin my shins a few times on the side of the box. Good times. Never did box jumps again though.
Would LOVE to know the details on your bootcamp your doing, btw!
Amy
Thanks Amy! It was a pretty good fall. I’m feeling better but my rear is still hurting and I have never seen a bruise so big or so purple lol
The bootcamp is put on by Tina from Best Body Fitness. It closed for sign ups but hopefully she’ll do it again. It goes for 8 weeks, we are on week 2.
er…that would be “you’re doing”. Mind is ready to be out and about today, I think! 🙂
