Rehab Diary: Overcoming Ankle Injury for Football Season
Introduction:
Join me in this training vlog episode as I update you on the journey of rehabilitating my ankle injury and making adjustments to my training to recover for the upcoming football season. From modifying workouts to managing weight, it's been quite a journey that I'm excited to share with you.
Adjusting the Training Regimen
After rolling my second ankle in the final football season, I had to make significant adjustments to my training regimen. The focus shifted to rehab and modifying the push-pull legs weights program to accommodate the injury. It was crucial to find a balance between recovery and maintaining strength.
Modifying the Workout Routine
One of the key changes involved switching to the Smith machine for squats to reduce the load on my ankle. The emphasis was on minimal weight and controlled movement to avoid exacerbating the injury. This modification allowed me to continue working on lower body strength without putting excessive strain on the injured ankle.
Rehabilitation and Return to Football
Rehab exercises were not limited to the gym; I incorporated specific ankle exercises that could be done outside the gym. It required consistent effort to address the imbalances and reduce swelling as part of the recovery process. Despite the challenges, the goal remained clear: to resume playing football as soon as possible.
Balancing Subscriber Growth and Content Enjoyment
Amidst the focus on recovery, I also celebrated reaching 600 subscribers on my KZbin channel after a long journey. While prioritizing subscriber growth, it was equally important to maintain the enjoyment of creating content. Balancing these aspects has been a significant part of my journey in recent days.
Ankle Rehabilitation and Overall Training Goals
The main focus of the recent leg workout at the gym was incorporating ankle exercises and emphasizing injury rehab. Furthermore, managing the effect of winter training on my body, sustaining a balanced diet, and using supplements to aid my recovery has proven to be vital in achieving my overall training objectives.
Conclusion:
The journey of overcoming the ankle injury and rehabilitating for the football season has been both challenging and rewarding. It required dedicated effort to manage the injury, balance training with subscriber growth, and maintain focus on the ultimate goal. Through this journey, I've learned the importance of adaptability and persistence in achieving my fitness and content creation ambitions.
