Stamina Pilates
Cardio, etc. after a lower back injury.?
Background:
I injured my back somehow in or around February 2007.
By July 2007, I was diagnosed with a ruptured lumbar disk (L3-L4) and a bulging lumbar disk (L4-L5).
In mid-July 2007, I had epidural cortisone injections. My pain level has gone way down, and my ability to walk has gotten a lot better (I can actually walk more than a block or two without needing to sit down).
I’ve started core strengthening (using Yoga, Pilates, and stretching per a book called Back Rx), but I’d like to do more.
I am desperate to regain my cardio stamina, without re injuring my back.
Any suggestions?
I concur with the writer who mentioned the elliptical. And it will burn the most calories per minute.
Consider taking a Pilates class at a studio. Studio instructors are almost always highly trained, including continuing ed courses on students with ‘issues.’ Pilates conferences almost always have seminars on back issues. So I feel you would benefit from such a class, given that you tell the instructor about your injury. She/he will be able to adapt Pilates exercises to you, and still teach the others who don’t have your issue.
There is also one-on-one Pilates apparatus work, but you would probably want to do some mat work first, to see how it works for you.
