Julie, I did it again though, and I do it all the time. Yesterday I decided I could do the first exercises from the OPT program, and by last night my neck and back were all kinked up. I ended up taking motrin and feel better this morning (not totally unkinked.)
But looking at the photos of the seated upright flies, I KNEW I couldn't do them, yet I did.
It frustrates the hell out of me.
I am making a new vow to myself to STOP doing what I know is wrong, working those darn traps, even though I'm trying not to.
Plus I did a yoga workout the night before, felt great btw, but I'm not supposed to do that darn Downward Dog.
It's hard for someone who enjoys how exercise feels, to stop doing things that "seem" so easy. It truly kills me at times.
Are there any shoulder types of exercises that don't work the traps? Mine tend to fire automatically when looking at a dumbbell, maybe they get excited or something...lol.
I think I'm starting to accept that I might just have to lose weight and be a skinny girl....ugh, can't believe I'm admitting that.
