I may have sprained my butt.

Ever get a little too enthusiastic with exercise DVDs? I get my groove on with yoga, shake my tassles with bellydancing and I still can't figure out the cardio salsa thing but the baby enjoys pointing and laughing at me. I found an old Tae-Bo video yesterday and figured the 8 minute workout would be a cinch.

I have sprained my butt.

I can't move.

help
me.

If it was Billy Blanks, he's brutal. I have his tae bo video where you use the resistance bands. After getting done with that the first time, I felt like I'd been run over by a truck.

Yep, it was that Blanks )$@#. He should have a warning label.

Oh dear. Smile.

Some of these flashes of inspiration to take up exercise can have painful consequences indeed. The worst ever in my case was doing calf raises in a gym with way too much weight, and my feet were jammed out like I was standing on tip-toes for about three days. God it hurt!

I will pray for your butt.

ooooow!

Mr. Blanks will be hearing from my lawyers. And my butt doctor.

The thing about fitness is, you can't make it happen all at once.

If you want a well-muscled rear, try skating.

Can't I just pinch a well-muscled rear instead?

You treat a sprain with the "RICE" method.

RICE = Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate

Rest for 24 hours, apply 20 minutes of ice every 3 hours, compress with ace bandage, and elevate (higher than your heart if possible).

If you don't have ice, use a bag of frozen vegetables.

So I need to put frozen peas on my butt and stick it in the air? Great visual.

I'll have to change my name to half-moon until its healed.

DOH! Posted at the same time! Interesting.. you've gone for peas...

I don't care for frozen carrots, too mushy when cooked.

At least it wasn't brussel sprouts - cabbage heads of the devil.

You now have permission to eat a gallon of ice cream (in an effort to 'ice' the injury). Just cross your fingers you don't have to make any sudden movements!

I don't have to sit on it do I, to adhere to oarsman's method?
