Hi all!

On my forth week of insanity I did a plank, and felt a slight pain in my lower back. Probably my form wasn't perfect, and I pushed myself too hard. Since then my lower back hurts... It really sucks, I was advised to rest until it goes away. I feel really miserable, because I can't do this great workout, because I started to see results...:sad:

However, the conclusion is, guys, that you have to push yourself, but in the same time know your limits! Form over speed, as Shaun T. says. I learned it the hard way. Better do fewer, but correct reps, than a lot, with bad form

Also, what would you suggest, if I recover, should I start the program from the beginning again, or continue it?
Good luck to everyone, and remember, form over speed:wink:

    i have injured my ankle and strained my back, all within 2 weeks.

    I only had to miss 2 days and carried on rather them making those days up again.

    If you feel confident, jump into month 2 =)
