Struggling to get back on track.

[Silent Guardian]

Hello, I'm new around here.

I started training seriously around a year and a half ago. Everything was going more or less great until I injuren my leg in the begining of september.

In theory I am allright again but i am unable to restart with the exercise. I want to but at the same time I just don`t feel like it

This is really frustrating. Any ideas about how should I aproach this matter?

Thank you very much and sorry for my english

Welcome! Maybe you could choose a challenge a start with it ? Or maybe a receovery/light program?

I'm in a similar position - and I'd recommend starting light to build the habit up again and also to work on some tendon strength to prevent further injury - I've been off and on for years due to trying to do too much too quickly and injuring myself, so that's my plan

Thank you very much to both of you,

Since I injured my leg I think the best thing should be to start upper body and little to no run or legs.

The tendon part its interesting. I will research about it.

Back when I was a fit thing, I messed up my ACL I started off with light stretches then slowly built up to more weight-bearing thingies. Maybe light yoga would be good for you?

Welcome back. I'd say start off with something light to get yourself in a routine and to get familiar with your body again, you can always build up from there.

Welcome! I'd second everything said above. Go light and slowly build it back up. Better to underwork it than to hurt it more.

It definitely sounds very frustrating. It's always annoying when you're making great progress and get a major set-back. Just remember that you didn't fail and that you can keep going, even if it has to look different for a while.
