The algorithm showed me a video on YouTube of you doing Asian squats a couple of weeks ago. I amazed myself by finding out I could actually do them straight away. Then another video I saw recommended being in the Asian squat position for 30 mins a day. So I tried that.
I managed about 16 mins (not all in one go) and couldn’t do any more.
The following day (and all the days since) I’ve had the worst pain in my lower right back 😩 Thankfully it’s getting a bit better now.
I’m not sure if my body is trying to align itself correctly or if I’ve done some real damage?
Maybe neither... This sounds like a case of too much too soon - going from zero to 30 minutes seems a bit overenthusiastic. Repetition not aggression. Hopefully you haven't done any real damage, if you are feeling a bit better. Have you watched my other video, the one on slow jogging in particular where I say DSY and explain what it means? ;) Give yourself time to recover, if the pain persists you have to go to a doctor. My acupuncture doctor said before the firest session, if this helps you and you feel better come back tomorrow, if you don't, go the the hospital for an x-ray. Hope you get better soon. No heroics please. If you go lucky and it's temporary than draw the appropriate lesson for the future. Sorry to be be giving you a sermon. I really hope you'll feel better soon but then give yourself plenty of recovery time before attempting anything like this again. And never go from zero to hero...
Oh no Sod’s Law and all that too isn’t it🫣🫣. Burpees are the devil also 😂. I’m trying to do a 10000 strike challenge with a Muay Thai group - again you have to listen to your body and go with the ebbs and flows as they say. Take it steady mr S🙂🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Yes, that very much sums me up! From nothing to full on 😆
I’ve been taking it easy since. Not pushing things etc.
I will check out the slow jogging for sure. Thank you so much for getting back to me!
Fingers crossed for getting wiser with age and experience 😆
Btw, you know what DSY means now? 😆
Ha! Yes I do 😆
I’m hoping, with your guidance, I’ll stop shitting myself in future 😉
