Ug

Why ug? That's a bit the way I feel at the moment. Over the weekend I sprained my ankle. It has kept me from doing a majority of kettlebell workouts that I am so fond of. Plus, I am horrified of the idea of not being able to work out whenever I want. There's almost a sense of depression that came over me once I looked down and saw my bulging purple kankle!!

I do have to say that I am pretty lucky, however. Anthony DiLuglio gave me some great tips on how to still get a great kettlebell workout and a great cardio workout without putting strain on my ankle. For instance, a light weight windmill (I usually like to use the 16 KG but am opting for the 12 KG), seated presses, plenty of abdominal exercises and Ropes Gone Wild for great cardio.

Although I feel a bit defeated, hopefully in a week or so I can get back to my regular kettlebell training. In the meantime, I am watching what I eat like a hawk and thanking my lucky stars it was a "sprain" and not a "break"!
