Urban Power Walking: Today's Choice - A Response to Pain

Well, that title certainly is a mouthful isn't it? But it accurately reflects the situation. With my left ankle and knee - in fact - even my left hip flexors - giving me trouble, as a fitness warrior, it's important to know when and how to back off without completely laying off.

So in this "recovery" period, you'll find me looking for ways to adapt and alter my approach -
  • using 3- to 5-minute mini workouts
  • slowing my pace by reducing speed or reducing stride length
  • using multiple 15 to 20-minute power walk breaks
  • performing Palates ball push-ups and crunches
  • performing free-weight bench presses
  • integrating fitness throughout the work day
And even going further by walking to nearby stores instead of driving can go a long way in helping you embed a fitness mindset into the fabric of your life.
