The advice I SHOULD be following is to stretch gently, go gradually, and let pain be my guide. By the time it hurts enough for me to HAVE to stop, I've already caused a flare-up than can take days or weeks to calm down. So on the yoga poses, I'd say back off the intensity until you feel a good stretch but no pain. And if an exercise isn't modifiable to get to the point of no pain, then skip it!<br /><br />Said the pot to the kettle.Crabby McSlackerhttp://www.crankyfitness.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-23023122407827467112011-09-05T23:13:33.310-07:002011-09-05T23:13:33.310-07:00Okay, just ow.

I pushed my sprained ankle to walk five miles a day due to foster dog needs. It wasn't until half a year later, once they were re-homed, that I rested and got rid of nightly swelling and pain. To push, or not to push? That is the question.English Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712384532126551307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-91053531591053719662011-09-05T07:01:45.111-07:002011-09-05T07:01:45.111-07:0090 seconds at downward dog!!

But there's lots of other good stuff.<br /><br />Gotta watch out for those treacherous garden hoses. <br /><br />Seriously, the elliptical machine? I tried one once and was bored stupid in about 15 minutes, plus all my joints hurt. Joints that typically don't hurt running. Easy choice.<br /><br />Hang in there...Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.com
