My friend and I are starting this site as a project to not only see where we are in one year, but also to help the community.
I used to be in great shape (a size 3/4), and I use to power walk 5 to 6 days per week, do karate 2 to 3 days per week, and weight train 3 days per week. That all came crashing down when I broke all the cartilage in my chest at karate. I had to stop all my activities as anything, such as swinging my arms, lifting a light box, and even vacuuming, was very painful. I kept rebreaking my cartilage, so it took more than 2 years to heal up. Then, I homeschooled for 10 years.
Now, I’m focused on getting back in shape and have already begun to do so. I’ve done a lot of research into how to prevent injuries when walking and running, which I will post on this site. Yes, a few weeks ago I started to run for the first time ever! Hopefully, I’ll be running a 5K in May. Also, I’ve done a lot of research into increasing one’s metabolism, which I will also post. I was unknowingly slowing mine. Are you slowing yours?
