broken toe!

Marcy Posts: 41 Joined: 2002/05/30	2002/07/18, 11:41 AM Hey guys, Well don't laugh but I broke one of my little toes the other day because I tripped over my husbands tennis shoe while playing with my son. Should I stop doing leg exercises or just tape up my toe and go on? ---------------------------- Never try to be better than anyone else, just try to be better than yourself! Marcy Ann

I once ripped the palm of my hand open on a roffing nail, right to the white muscle. I taped it up and put on some gloves and went to the gym. I did shoulders that day. I bled a little but made it thru it. I try not to let injuries hinder unless they are of the type that need rest etc. Use your best judgement, I would go easy on legs and calves but the rest go for it.

As far as that husband of yours, tell him to pick up his damn shoes ( my husband leaves his shoes around for me to trip on and I hate it)............lol -------------- Lisa

LOL No seriously I hope you get better I once caught my little piggie on the leg of the couch and cried like a baby.....Let pain be your guide, i had problems walking around, but at the time I didnt lift so walking is what hindered my healing. -------------- BQ AMERICAN MADE

I couldn't get my foot into a shoe, but I could still train as before so that's what I did. Tape up the darn thing and get on going!!
