[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am you. Used to being able to take on any new activity. Now it’s a string of false starts ending in a new injury. An answer is to do as little as possible in the class every day. Don’t push yourself as hard as you can. Don’t strain. Get yourself to exertion and back off. That is the discipline required by your current state. This will allow you to slowly relearn and protect your body. As long as you are consistent, you will gain more than the fits and starts can give you. This can be difficult in the face of even well meaning peer pressure or directives from a trainer. [b]Unless it’s a workout for injury rehab, you have to be patient and disciplined enough to do less than what is being asked, so that you can come back the next day and the day after.[/b] [/quote]

This. I am about to turn 50, and have always been athletic (yoga, climbing, biking, hiking, weights, etc.). I’ve sustained more injuries in the past year+ than ever in my life. I’ve had to learn to scale back, and not go as long & full-on hard—now it’s about moderate effort with slightly longer duration.[/quote]
