Holy Toledo Batman!

Well, my back is toast! I totally had a major flare up tonight, brought on by some stressful news. See, I aggravated my back by doing the Hyper-extension bench...which I thought would strengthen it...and under normal conditions, with a normal back, it would. But mine, I suffer from chronic back pain caused by a snowmobile accident 14 years ago...so mine is different. I should have left well enough alone...but Nooooo, I had to go and do that exercise, repeatedly. Well, tonight, I had such an attack, it affected my stomach, my digestive system, as well as the back. I had to go lay down. When it gets that bad, I can't tell if it's my stomach or my back until I lay still...and eventually, I feel it. I am so out of it, so ill, that I couldn't do my treadmill tonight. In fact, I struggled big time to get 20 minutes of X Stretch in...but I did it. I cannot break my streak. Just moving makes me want to be sick, and starts things rolling and just feel like a bag of crap. I'm a major hurtin unit tonight. Someone shoot me and put me out of my misery!

Oh no! Sorry things are going so rough right now, but major kudos for you, holding to your streak of stretches! The power of the streak is so awesome, once it gets going.

CRAP!! I hope your back gets better... I was wondering about the Ab ripperX... I pretty much SUCK at it! I was thinking that it might be easier if I had a bosu ball cause... it seriously kills my tail bone... either way... so far I'm loving the 4 videos I've done!! I swear I'm stronger already.. or at least I'm in a lot of pain which means I must be stronger right?

I think your body is telling you something. You should listen to it. Breaking a streak is nothing compared to losing the ability altogether. Give your body the rest that you've earned if you don't start feeling better. Even God rested!
