I realize it's been a while since I posted my fitness routine and it's sometimes nice to document this sort of thing and see how this changes and evolves from season to season and year to year. It's an especially great feeling to be back to *doing* some of my favorite workouts again after my herniated disc injury (while moving my pizza stone out of the oven back in late March). I'm still not back to where I should be pushup-wise but I'm okay with that. I've been gradually easing into the high impact by doing mostly workouts from Cathe's recent Low Impact Series (it's low impact but still HiGH intensity!!). I've begun to sprinkle in the high impact stuff since receiving my 2 newest exercise DVDs (Cathe's To The Max and CrossFire). This past week I even baked my family's favorite challah again (the loaves that caused the spring herniation). I'm proud to say I lifted the stone out of the oven myself with no injury... Very s-l-o-w-l-y, I might add, bending deeply in the knees and keeping the stone as close to my body as possible. You can bet a little prayer was said as well. So here's what I've been doing for my workouts since getting back from vacation:
