Yeah, so, that was a gap. I managed to fuck up my lower back completely, I'm still not even sure how. Annoyingly it must have been this yoga which is frustrating because it's supposed to be *for* people with fucked up joints and yet it hurts my elbows and back. I think this is where you butt up against the problem with exercise DVDs, I have no idea if I'm doing this properly, where I should and shouldn't be leaning, and no one can look at me and go "oh that's way wrong, please stop." Or tell me how to actually modify it, I know there are vague modifications on the disk, and he's always saying do whatever helps you, but I don't know what helps me. I can try to stop my back from hurting but it basically negates all the benefits of the workout. I can't afford yoga lessons and the regular time off work that they would entail, I guess I could try YouTube.
On top of all this irritation I discovered that despite all that exercise and sporadic healthy eating I've actually gone up a fucking dress size. It's not a huge deal, I'm still only a size 10 (6 for you guys across the pond) but it's incredibly annoying and I'm really not in a place where I can replace my entire wardrobe right now. So yeah, I gave up for a bit. I'm gonna try to buy a proper yoga mat (and by proper I just mean not a folded up rug, I don't mean I'll be spending £80 on a slice of rubber) and see if that helps.
Fat Burner was ok, I was pleasantly surprised by how little my upper body strength had degenerated. Lunges were fine, flagged a little with the broken table crunches towards the end. Managed all the push ups and even came off my knees in the last set. Hamstrings are literally exactly the same, what is the point.
