My copy of Infinite Intensity came today. But heres the catch (there always seems to be one). My lower back felt sore Friday night at work and when i woke up Saturday morning i could barely get out of bed. its been sore all weekend and still doesnt feel 100%. If it didnt have to lift boxes at work i could just avoid exercises that strain it, but obv i have to go to work. I dont know what they will say at work cuz this is the same thing that happened a few months ago.

Did a quick workout today to see how my back would hold up. So far it feels good, but i really wont know until i go to work.

I felt a sharpe pain again in my left knee while doing burpees. I must be doing something wrong. Maybe im not wamring them up enough or maybe my form is off a bit. Ill have to work on it.

3 sets of each with very little rest betweenn sets and exercises.
Burpees 10 reps
Chin ups 6 reps
Chinnies 16 reps
Squats 15 reps
Push Ups 15 reps
Supermans 7 reps

What type of pain are you feeling in both your back and knee?

A sharpe ian in my knee cap when doing burpees and a sore lower back in the same place i hurt it before. IDK how to explain what kind of pain it is, but it seems to hurt more when i sit and lay down than it does when im lifting boxes.

If/when it heals im going to start training my core more seriously and start stretching and doing yoga more often.

Back was still bothering me so i decided not to workout. I still had to go to work and my back felt weird all night. Instead of my lower back being sore, my upper and middle back was bugging me. It didnt really hurt but was more of weird feeling.

After work i did 45 minutes of stretching.

Knee- Rest it, it is probably a strained and inflammed tendon or ligament in your knee cap. RICE it.

Back- I'm assuming its muscular pain not that of the actual spine?
