Getting back into training after car accident

[VixenVenus]

I was in a real bad auto accident in February of this year. My neck, back, shoulders, hips, and tailbone were injured in the accident. I still can't lift any heavy. What cardio could I do without hurting myself or making things worse?

He said that I can do some light cardio.

My boyfriend did walking and light jogging in the pool. It really helped him and did not put a lot of strain on his injuries. But he just had a torn up knee and ankle, the rest were just bad bruises. He was lucky. Dont you have a physical therapist?

He said that I should do low impact.

the pool is really light impact and pretty hard work. I used to do it with him sometimes, its a lot harder than the elliptical trainer.

Right now all I do is the treadmill and the exercise bike.

Sorry to hear about your accident.

I would recommend a visit to a reputable physiotherapist, and have them help you come up with a good programme.

I got the okay today from my physcial therapist to go back to my regular training routine! I'm so happy!

Pool therapy is the way to go. This is how we start most of our trauma patients after a serious injury. PM me if you need any other info.
