Contrary to popular belief, I do workout ALL of my body parts lol, not just lower body. I love working out upper body too. Today's focus is on back and some core strengthening too! Try it out & let me know how you do!
If you didn't know, I will tell you now. I have been in a LOT of car accidents. Some might say that people seek my car out in an attempt to play bumper cars! I also have to be very careful not to exacerbate my total body inflammation (cytokine's- some are good, some are bad but these are proteins produced by various cells. They regulate inflammation, if you have too many of the wrong kind as with arthritis, it can be a big problem.) Point being that I really warm up my body and upper body a ton before I start lifting, the first 2 super sets I do are low to med weights in order to continue warming up and allows me not to pull my neck out...which can also happen from a sneeze these days but less and less now that I have done so much healing work!
