A week ago, I took a nasty fall while hiking and injured my right elbow pretty good. Thankfully nothing is broken, and it has gotten better since then, but I still can’t put a lot of weight on it, not even bodyweight. That means I can’t do my normal workouts, I was on Week 9 of Fit & Functional 2.0, and it sucks that I have to put them on hold.
My fall happened on a Wednesday and, from Thursday-Sunday, I was not doing well mentally. I’ve been consistent with my workout programs since the beginning of the year, and having to completely stop is frustrating. Sunday was the worst day and, because of it, I did some research online to see if there were any examples of a workout split one could do with an injured arm, and found something like this. I did modify it a bit because I can’t promise myself that I’d do sprints.
I’m going to stick with this until, at least, August 3rd; hopefully by then, I’ll be able to get back to my Fit & Functional workouts but we’ll just have to wait and see. But I think doing this in the meantime will help keep my sanity, and not feel as frustrated or lost. However, I am already ready to get back to my Fit & Functional workouts.
