Girl, I feel ya! I remember when I had such a tough time canceling my workouts for the sake of an injury because I never understood that the body needed time to heal. (Not saying you don’t understand though )

Have you ever thought of opting for periodization and perhaps taking a month or so of lighter intensity workouts? Perhaps some yoga and walking? It might do your injuries some good, and you’ll be able to fully get back in the swing of things later!

we are SO much alike. literally i just got over the flu, and while i was sick, i refused to skip a workout. it was ridiculous! but i somehow convinced myself it was good for me. lol. sometimes listening to your body is SO hard when you’ve got an agenda and you’re a busy body like i am!

Oh man, that’s beyond frustrating. I’m sorry it had to come to a pulled hammy for it to “click” for you, but at least your body got your attention. It’s hard, but try and enjoy your recuperation.

Kat, I’m so sorry you had all of those injuries happen to you! Listening to your body can be such a hard thing to do when it means having to change your usual ways. I’m so “good” at convincing myself that, oh well, my body must somehow be wrong when it’s still tired after two consecutive rest days. Like with many things in life I think we – or at least me – often just listen to/hear what we want to hear.

Enough of my babbling. I think it’s great you’ve decided to change things to show your body how much you appreciate and listen to it. Hope everything will work out for you!

I’m so sorry to hear about your injuries that have been recurring over the past couple weeks. I think it’s GREAT that you have recognized you may need to make some sort of changes. Do what’s best for you girl <3

I really respect the fact that you recognize that you might need to make some changes. Good for you … that’s maturity and growth!! You are a role model for others!

Oh girl, I’m so sorry to hear about your string of random injuries, but I’m glad that you’re deciding to take it easy. I know you may feel all sorts of badass by trying to push through the pains, but that sort of ting will only land you in more trouble… We only get one body, and it has to last us for a good long while, so putting it through too much abuse now can really come back to bite us in the butt later. Rest is when the magic happens, so don’t be afraid to take some time off

Oh gosh girl I am so sorry to hear this but I think maybe your body is telling you, hey I need a break. I am telling you, rest weeks or even more are needed each year. it keeps my body fresh and ready to go
