Day 210 - down 22 lbs so far. But most importantly my back pain is currently 0/10, which is amazing because I have a herniated disc and just 6 months ago I was in debilitating pain for the previous year or so. This workout has helped me dramatically increase my quality of life - of course I still have the herniated disc. I can feel that it’s there and I have to be careful not to flare it up. My right leg is still stiff a lot (due to the disc pushing into my sciatic nerve).. BUT the pain is under control, and that’s been a big win - Next I want to figure out how to continue strengthening the part of my back around where the disc issue is (low back, lumbar region, L5S1). The goal is to continue making progress until I have full range of motion and don’t have to constantly worry about flaring it up — 👉🏼 if you want to join in with me, the workout guide, exercise list, and follow along video is in my bio link Let’s get after it 💪🏼
