So I’m back at the Chiropractors and telling him how I’m doing and what I’m doing to improve my overall fitness levels, etc.
So first I tell him I started on Tang Soo Do and his face frowns – he’s a Chineese gent so he gets the benefits of a martial art but doesn’t like the aspect of high kicking in TSD. He tells me, no high kicking and then proceeds to show me how limited my actual leg movement is.
Well I knew that one. But ok, I get the point.
Then I tell him I’ve started running and he instantly shakes his head whilst muttering “no”. OK, so no running, I get the picture. So I try to explain that I’m wanting to shed some of the excess weight and that the TSD and cardio sessions aren’t doing it – so thought adding running would be good. Tell him I have the right gear and all but still he says “no do”.
OK, so running is out.
So there ends my C25K experiment – to be honest, I’m not that gutted as I think the weight needs to drop first before I could have seriously continued with it. On that note, my doctor says if my weight is still the same in two months we’ll discuss taking tablets to assist me.
So there you have it – body says no.
Any other suggestions for easy on the lower back methods for getting rid of excess weight?
