I wondered if what you were feeling as tense was sore back muscles from all of the working out you do... but then when you had the sharp pain... that makes me think it's something else, like the anxiety thing. <BR/><BR/>If the yoga helps you channel your anxiety and stress, so it's not hurting your back, maybe you should just concentrate on that? Maybe with some cardio? I'm worried that if you do any lifting of weights, even if it's for legs or arms - the fact that you lift the weight at all might tweak your back in a bad way. And, abs? I think ab exercises could make things worse? <BR/><BR/>I know you want to keep your muscle mass but maybe it's time to take a break, do yoga and cardio and hiking, etc. Work on your diet so it's awesome and blog about all of that. I'd be eager to learn about anything you're doing really, so I support whatever you want to do. <BR/><BR/>Does Chalean, or any of the other vids in your program, do only stretching and/or yoga?<BR/><BR/>Good luck,<BR/>KristenKristen's Rawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340522295588234162noreply@blogger.com
