ORIGINAL: needlesandpins I admit that you seem to think a c section is minor surgery, it isn't. Your body needs time to heal correctly, and at the moment you are still only at the creating scar tissue stage that could still burst open under undue stress. Your instructor knows exactly what he's talking about. I had a hysterectomy done 10 years ago, and was told to do virtually nothing for twelve weeks, but because I had horses that involved heavy lifting I should be careful for at least six months to give my body time to correctly heal. You may not have had your womb removed, but you've had it sliced open, and well as your abdomen, and everything else involved. Give yourself a break and just enjoy your daughter whilst you can. She is far more important than how soon you can work out again. Needles I admit yeah I know you are right and Chris (my coach) is right...but sometimes we just have moments where we think "come on, all will be fine..." I admit Chris would have allowed me now to join Crossfit again in March (though not during the Crossfit Open sessions and of course with a load of restrictions during the sessions) however I decided a day later to wait with it until April...cause since saturday I feel my joints way more than I like to feel them and I don't want to risk to injure them unneccessarily...therefore I admit I am starting now in March with personal training with him twice a week and swap over to Crossfit then in April....that way my body gets slowly back into working out (but with a programme designed for my needs right now) and will be better prepared again for working out within our group in April. I admit as much as I love my personal training I won't do more than 11-15 hours this year as quite frankly now with my decreased income (over here we get 65% of our normal income during the year of maternity leave) I can't justify it really to use it more often again...after all, the majority of our income should stay at home with us now, for our family therefore that will be enough during that time, I can increase it again once I am back at work (if by then I still want to increase it again). I admit I also decided with Chris, that I will also swap over to a Crossfit Box closer to us from May onwards to simply safe the money which I would have to spend into petrol to work out in his box (his box is 101km far away - one way!!! the local one is 25km far away)....therefore his training will help me to get back into the right mind frame of working out and then I will work out closer to home and only come to his box once every second week... I admit his box is far away from my home but not that far away from my job, therefore, once I am back at work I will work out more often in his box again I admit I am just glad to get back on track again...even when I know that it will still take time... How much room do you have at home? Do you have enough room that you could use youtube videos to work out with so that you still get your sessions in, but keep your prices down? My daughter-in-law uses the Intensity Workouts :-) Needles I admit I actually have plenty of working out dvds here in regards to pilates and (as my coach puts it) half a gym at home...though still not my desired concept 2 but thats ok...still have to get other stuff sorted here at home before buying that one... I admit I can work out at home but I also need my joy in my crossfit group, therefore its not a replacement for me...its more an addition to be able to do stuff at home than to do it instead... I admit financially its not problem to afford it....we both earn well, even when my salary drops by 35% now due to maternity leave and thankfully house prices are low here... I admit it is just the case that I "don't want to" spend half my income on my sports instead of "I can't afford to"...when I spent a quarter from my income on it then thats still more than enough...I am only calculating to ensure not to waste too much our money as we still want to buy our own home in 4-5 years :)
