Health update

#exercise #heatlh #hiit did my sciatica stretching and a hiit. I was able to do some 80lbs dead lifts. I was using the exercise to find a good position to strengthen. Its going to take a while. Took about 45mins when i started timing, until i got the awreness to stop the timer. the back of my throat is acting up. My breathing is strained and slight mismanagement leads to coughs and being out of breath from the coughs and weakness. Breathing is a challenge, especially when I need to track how I lose breath and stop breathing. I will do a couple of strength sets: push ups and chair dips plus core exercises. probably just 2 minutes. I want to eat the free krispe kreme but I can't :( those calories could have been out of my system even if its possibly just 50g (10kal 1 gram). #chinese I plan to study a bit of chinese and have lunch.Just get through learning all the worlds of chapter 8. Thats 40 words

Injury update

Did my sciatica stretching exercises. I've gotten flexible enough that the Torso twisting does not stain my back anymore,but now I stretch my hamstring and my upper back. I tuck my chin down and sometimes hold my head down, in a pulling  down motion with my forearm over my face as my hand pulls the back of my head for my chin to point down. Now my middle back gets. Stretched. I now tense my stomach or gut. I push it to harden and curl my back a bit forward to relieve the stress and pain. Instead of arching back, I curl forward now. Hypothesis: 1) everything is connected and flexibility will aid in strength because I get to strain the connecting muscles. 2) the disjointed development of muscles leads to the pain when related muscles cannot handle the load of the more developed other. It has become meditative and a breathing exercise. I can go for an hour easily.
