Pain in the....Shoulder.

At Karate on Tuesday I was learning how to do a side fall. On one attempt I landed wrong and felt a severe pain in my shoulder. I thought maybe it was a tweaked muscle, but it was getting worse by the second. I went to the Dr. the next day and the x-ray was clean, so the verdict is a bone bruise on my shoulder. 6 - 12 weeks before I am cleared for the weight room again. What a bummer just when I was getting my weight routine consistent.

Over the next few weeks I will need to heal and take a look at my goals. I can do some non impact cardio for now, and maybe some body weight exercises for my legs. I'm going to take the next week off just to regroup and lay out a plan. Having goals is great, but you have to adjust when you run into something like this.
