Training around back and knee injuries?

<[email hidden]> wrote in message
news:[email hidden]...

I have this little pain in both my hamstrings and lower back and I was
wondering if there exercises I could do to train both the hams and
lombar region without putting too much strain on it like some sort of
isometric exercises?

Any help would be appreciated.

Swimming is the best of course, as its unweighted... But why not just take a
break?

Hyper-static holds.
You know, hyerextensions, but then the top phase. Hold for about 15-20
seconds.

But why would this be any less strain than just working the hams?

I'd stay off them for a bit and then go in with easy weights. Work something
else hard.

And glucosamine might help.

You mean as opposed to leg curls?
Well... he asked for something isometric...

Is there a good website with isometric exercises for hamstrings and
lower back, perhpas I could get some tips.

I liked the swimming idea BTW.

Lot's of stretching sound good too.

The best thing you can do is to get your boyfriend to pull your legs back
(rabbit-ears) when he is having sex with you on your back. That thrusting
will help both your lower back and your hammies.

No, I mean heavy isometrics are going to screw up his injuries just as much
as a moving exercise. If you're injured, go light or stay off it altogether.

I had similiar problems in the past from running injuries, and
hopefully won't have to keep this in mind in event of another injury.
