Daily Workout - Back with Total Gym

The back is feeling great now, I think I was starting to get used to the regular daily pain and now that it's gone, I almost feel like I have more strength overall.

I've got another chiropractor appointment this Wednesday to see how things are but I don't feel like I need it.

Daily Workout - Chiropractor & Shoulders with Total Gym

Yesterday I went to the Chiropractor in the afternoon and the spent the rest of the day with my kids at Cultas lake. Both went really well!

After my bone crunching I seemed to have more mobility in my lower back and neck and for the rest of the day I felt pretty good. Mind you my back has been feeling OK lately but it feels better than ever now. And today my back feels good. My Chiropractor said I should be 100% after 1 or 2 more visits. She said my lower spine vertebrate where staggered a bit which has been causing me the pain. She also said I was pretty easy to get back in alinement so I guess that was good news.

Today I did shoulders but now that I look at my last post, I should have done back but that's OK I can do back tomorrow! It's convenient having this blog to keep track of things...

Well the back continues to get better each day, I'm almost back to 100% now! Today I didn't do any yard work - thank goodness!

It was a hot one today and the house heated up to the point where it makes working out difficult, at least not very comfortable. I find I just have to slow things down a bit and give myself a few more breaks during my workouts when it's above average temperature.
