Pulled Muscle

Just a little while ago I was experiencing pain behind my leg and I thought I might have pulled something so I did some research and tried to figure it out on my own. At first I thought the pain was coming from my lateral hamstring tendons were located. These lateral hamstrings connect to the biceps femoris to the fibula. Later when I went to a physiotherapist I found out that......i......was......totally........wrong! It ended up being lower down in my calf. I pulled a muscle in my my calf, it was the muscle that made me able to do explosive movements, so it took me right out of volleyball and basketball for 3 weeks.

Now that I am doing better I have now injured my back because of over using it. What happened was i was going to volleyball, which uses a lot of upper back muscles, then i would go home and do wide fly to work my shoulders out and back and because of this constant over use a super sore back came as a result. In hind sight its always good to take rest days.

sorry guys haven't been on for a long time but I'm here to give you an update on what is going on. I Have been working out 6 times a week and then taking sunday off as a rest day. Every second day I do core and legs and the other days is chest, arms, back, and shoulders. My goal was to put on weight and more muscle but i have found out at first that I lost weight and THEN started to gain weight so right now I am the same weight as before. I lost about three pounds of fat and then gained back those three pounds with muscle. I will be posting some videos I have found on youtube that I have found to be extremely helpful on making a work out plan for each week.

Some times it is really hard to keep up with working out, but most of all eating healthy is the hardest part and I definitely have not followed through with that. My mentor with healthy eating is my mom because she eats healthy all the time. One other thing that I don't like is how gross most healthy food is. notice how I said most and not all. SO, there is good, tasty, healthy food out there people you just got to find it and then get creative. Soon I will be posting some pictures of some of my favourite things that i have tried.

New Passion Project

This year i have decided to do my passion project on my fitness and learning about physiotherapy. This is my grade twelve year and I am really thinking about what I am going to be doing after high school and going into university. I am really working towards getting a volleyball scholarship and wanting to go into physiotherapy. Because of me working towards a scholarship it is necessary for me to be physically fit and feed my body the right food and take care of my body the right way so I can play at the top of my game. The reason for learning about Physiotherapy is to learn about different muscles and the mechanics behind the game of volleyball and also because i want to be a physiotherapist when I am done University. Also because i just want to build muscle mass and increase my vertical.
