I purchased some wrist and ankle weights to make my workouts even more **extreme** than they were before. 2.5 pounds on each wrist was where I started. I wore them for a single karate class. This seems to have somehow destroyed my lower back. From the bottom rib down to just under the top of my hips, right next to my spine, is just on fire today. I can usually put both palms flat on the floor from a standing position. Today, I had trouble tying my shoes with my knees bent. I’ve got full workplace ergonomics in play today, with the back pillow, feet flat on the floor, chair arms appropriately adjusted … otherwise it hurts more.
What did I do wrong? How can such a little weight have molested me so badly?
In other news, this cute little guy was on the suet feeder this morning:
