8/24/2008 - My ankle hurts
I’m a bit frustrated.
This past Wednesday I sprained my right ankle really really bad playing basketball. Severely stretched ligaments to be exact. Ouch!
I have not exercised in 4 days and I am just going crazy because I do not want to gain weight. I have been watching what eat, but from past experience, nutrition is just not enough for me. My body needs to exercise. P90X will have be put on the backburner, yet again… because my ankle will not be able to endure all the jumping around and stuff. So, right now i’m trying to think of how I can get a good cardio/hiit workout without engaing my ankle (ehm…) I mean, kankle as much. I wonder if weights will be enough?
School starts tomorrow, and I will be registering for two classes this fall semester. I will let you all know how that goes and what classes i’ll be taking as soon as I get settled in. It’s been a while since i’ve been to school, so i’m looking foward to it.
Besides that, it’s been pretty quiet and peaceful around here. Off to ice my ankle before I turn in for bed.
Peace,
Vilma

I know how you feel. About 2 years ago I chipped my fibula after twisting my ankle badly in a kick-boxing class. I was unable to train for about 3 months, and then not properly. And when the weather is damp, it still hurts sometimes!
Remember that it will get better though, so be patient, and be sensible - do not risking making it worse before it gets better!

That sucks about your ankle. I hope you recover well and get active soon, but don’t rush things as you can injure it worse.

I’m in the middle of a 10-day kick to jump-start my metabolism. I guess I’ll avoid basketball until it’s thru. I don’t know how bad your sprain is, but if there’s any chance you can work out the rest of your body go for it. I have to do calf raises on stairs to strengthen my ankles.

Hope you feel better very soon. Why dont you try some simple workouts that dont involve the ankle? Like a number of upper body exercises and just do lower body isolation movements. I once injured myself and went on to machines for sometimes rather than free weight and body weight…Found it to be helpful
