Little3wolfs Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Background: played softball for 12 years. Sprained my ankle and ignored it to keep playing. Finally got it checked after it randomly rolled for 3 years-torn ligament. Couldn't afford surgery. Went another 2 1/2 years with it increasingly getting worse and just rolling/respraining before I finally got the surgery. Now, 5 years, 3 kids and a ton of weight gain later I'm ready to get back into working out to better myself. I am over weight and don't want to be anymore. I started two weeks ago with walking on the treadmill at the gym. Once I was comfortable and in a good routine there I added this program to do at home in the mornings. I was on week 1 day 2 yesterday and my left ankle sprained!! How long until you restart the program? What would you do to avoid this in future? It's a bad sprain. And I was doing it indoors on a flat surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torus_ot Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Do not got upset! Your two goals should be 1) continue to move (walk, schlepping, jogging) and 2) stay out of injuries. If it hurts to much - give your ankle few day rest. Start walking and see how it goes. Research what shoes will help you with your ankle. Get some ankle exercises daily. If it gets worse see professional help. Our additional weight is likely adding to possibility get injured. So reduce your meals - exercise can help with weight management, but the good eating habits are the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
