  • I think most important point is alcohol is empty calories. If you look at the big picture, that will possibly lead to a less effective day after :-). Meaning, less quality sleep and less fuel for a good work out the next day.

  • try stretching out hamstrings :smile: before working out. I was having similar issue and realized that i was not stretching good. when the hamstring is tight, it can pull on glute muscles which in turn press on sciatic.

  • hi, what helps me are 2 things: 1) use training calendar, plan out your week of exercise, so motivational to check it off each day 2) if you are into running or cycling, or whatever sport you enjoy, register for an upcoming race! that will definitely motivate you!

  • Hey Heidi, I crashed my bike in July and tore ligaments in my shoulder. I compete in triathlons and was completely bummed when it happened. You may not be able to do the intensity of workout you were doing at first, but better to be safe and let your foot heal. What helped me most was staying on track by sticking to a plan…
