    I took a nasty fall and sprained my back. I'm also having bad nerve pain through my hip, all the way down to my toes. It feels kinda tight sometimes, and sharp burning pain other times. And certain movements cause almost what feels like an electrical shock.

    That is a fantastic routine you have there!.... If you're 80. Seriously, get a new coach who's main concern isn't that you'll pull a muscle doing a real exercise and sue them.

    Sorry for the sarcasm but I'm so sick of useless coaches and trainers. You're 29. Did you have some major injury recently or a disability that's stopping you from doing proper exercise?

    Get this book..."The New Rules of Lifting for Women"

    Yes, actually I DID have an injury which prevents me from a LOT of movements, so we were looking at things that wouldn't cause me immense pain. Walking, standing and sitting all cause me a lot of pain.

    I might check out the book though.

    Fair enough, that's why I asked. My apologies. Good luck with your rehab

    thank you. It's been more then a year now that I have been in pain but I do find that losing weight has eased it somewhat. But some days are worse then others.
