Injury #1

This summer I planned on being more active, so I played tennis with a dodge ball team mate. It's been about four years since the last time I have played tennis so I was a bit rusty. I forgot that you're not supposed to be using your wrists for your shots, but rather your arm. This was back in early June where my wrists felt sore. In the meantime, I'm at the gym doing my thing ... you know planks, mountain climbers, modified pushups and I just couldn't shake the feeling off. I felt weak and I was about to cry because my trainer had to modify my exercises. I hate it when she has to do it, but in the end its for my own good.

I went to see my doctor about it twice and the second time around she concluded that I have in fact sprained my wrists; that means I can't use my wrists for two weeks!!! I'm so upset about this because I really wanted to tone my arms!!! @!$@#%$@%@# So for now I can only work out my core and legs, which is good I guess since I want my thighs to be more trimmed down. I'm still upset though ... but this will make me stronger in the end
