"Keep fighting. Fortune will favor the patient and persistent."
Hi everyone. Had one thread here before the site got moved and hadn’t quite gotten off the mark yet…so I guess we’ll call this a reintroduction?
The short story for me is that I am starting over after an injury I suffered last March in an act of stupidity. I was taking what was labeled a beginner level Pilates class on fitness platform NEOU (I have since left it) and basically overextended myself to screw up my right leg but good. Please don’t give me sympathy cards for that because I don’t deserve them.
In actual practice I could use accountability and nutrition help, but the platform I wanted to look into tried to get me to spend $600 without getting a consult with one of their trainers first. I told them in reply that they could either give me a consult with one of their trainers or we’d automatically have no deal.
You can tell how that turned out because I’m here instead, taking what feels like a huge gamble on a DIY approach because I am otherwise out of options (I do not have access to a gym).
So there are two questions basically:
1) Where to start? A program would probably be my best friend even if I can’t follow it to the letter right away.
2) I could use an accountability buddy…any volunteers?
Oh, I’m David if you need a name. I’ll work on that profile and pick a profile pic eventually.
