You know, when I was teaching fitness classes, I eventually stopped doing regular jumping jacks. Why? Because all of a sudden, we started seeing lots of back and hip injuries from the repetitive stress of all of the jumping jacks and running. I always did alternating leg jacks after that. I think it was something like 7x your body weight for full impact jacks and 3x for alternate leg ones.
So, it's sort of like, what do I do? Deal with the pain of injury to my bones from the high impact stuff, or deal with the risk of fracture?
I'm thinking of restarting some easy running again, despite the fact my hip is still hurting. Yesterday I did 3 3 minute intervals of running at a 10:30 pace, with no ill effects. Already doing the superman exercise and lots of other weight bearing/core stuff.
Still waiting to get the final word from the doc about the meds.
