claudine: handplants soon? (28. Apr. 2009 20:06)
	Oh no, hope you get better! I slammed on my BMX and my hip was sore for 2 days. I will wear padding on my hips now. I'm taking it way slow on the skating and been so busy with school its hard to make it to the park until thats done. Then I'll go almost daily if I want! Not much longer. My goals been to get strong and yes, my hard work is paying off!! I dont want to be frail and break anything again. Exercise does wonders for me and I guess protein shakes help too. I DO need to stretch more. My aches tend to come from not enough that. I think I'll start headstands to handstands against the wall and see how that goes. I have been afraid due to limits in motion...... But I will do one one day for sure!!!! My dream. ;-D : Wow! : : Using your limbs is the best physiotherapy. : : "Form follows function", hehe. : : I don't know if you are up to hand plants. : : At least I am not up to skating. Slammed badly last Saturday and damaged the capsules of my right hand this time. I think it's not broken, anyhow.

	: Oh no, hope you get better! It's a lot better already. I can close my fist again fully which wasn't feasible. Therefore I think it's not that severe. But it feels a bit similar to the damage on the other hand last year. The hand hasn't lost its function, so I guess it's not so bad. : I slammed on my BMX and my hip was sore for 2 days. I will wear padding on my hips now. Egad! I always have a hip pad on my right hip when skating a ramp or similar, but that was no use. The gloves came in handy, however. At least no scratches. : I DO need to stretch more. My aches tend to come from not enough that. You are so right. Sigh. : I think I'll start headstands to handstands against the wall and see how that goes. That's probably a good idea. Maybe also pull-ups and push-ups.

claudine: Learn how to do handstands. (28. Apr. 2009 23:14)
	: This is a good instructional on how to learn handstands properly. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2G4O8R-SFg Mr. B, I hope you are alright! I would see the Dr. just in case. Thanks Biff!! You are the king of handplants. I will slowly work on this. I can do a headstand. Not yet trying handstands. I can do 40 man style push ups. I have a bar bell here too. I do lots of dead lifts and rows. I'm working on doing manuals and better bunny hops on the bike so lifting is important. As are handstands! I'm going for the total gymnast body with shoulders. :-D More muscle means more fun for me and more safety. You are so right on the best thing for injury prevention. I think I'm the only lanky rollerskater but I seem to be successful so far on bulking up. I'm going to be a skinny old lady lol I guess once I cant have fun as I disappear when I'm sedentary.

I'm going to be a skinny old lady lol I guess once I cant have fun as I disappear when I'm sedentary. : : You might want to try some of the protein body mass builders that health stores and body builder stores tend to sell. In combination with a good work out regimen, you can build up that skinny frame quicker! (I know....it will cost money you do not have....but when you do have it..!) I already have protein powder which I've been drinking daily. But not sure if when its out, I can afford more as its VERY pricey. It helps for protein, cal and it absorbs quickly after workouts. But I was also drinking this during/after the surgery. So what really works is exercise and extra calories! I seem to want to eat a lot more when I work out hard. But even so, I have to take in a lot more cal then one might think. I've sucked out all my fat stores already lol. I wish I knew a way to build muscle around my ribs. I think my metabolism slowed down a bit or something as usually I cannot gain muscle this quick. Or maybe I am doing something right! My uni has given me rippled abs for some reason lol. I've never had a hard stomach like this and I hate sit ups!!

	Holy shit Irene! I was thinking I'm getting some meat on my bones lol. But thats compared to my pics of me outta cast hahaha. Hey, not fair. In NY they give bigger portions lol. But watch out. I found a BMX motorcross track not too far and some dirt jumps and guys to teach me so I'm lifting 30 lbs constantly, and 40 lb bikes at work. ;-D But any time. Come down and I'll gladly let ya kick my ass good!! There are no girls here my age that can even attempt to kick my ass so I'm in! But COOLNESS, I just walked up the other wall in my hallway and did my first HANDSTAND! Woo-hoo!!!!!! Its harder since I cant 100% straighten my arm. Cant hold it long but I did it. This summer I will be doing my froggy plants again. :-D 2 weeks school is out and that means every evening at the park across the street to practice. Give me a few months of bulking and practice. It will be upside down Claudine ripping away!!!!!! : : Hey, the bike mechanic and BMX is doing me good. Maybe not lady like, but I dont think my arm is frail anymore and strong is my goal.
