#Mamavation ~ Is there such thing as working out too much?

While I myself, don't feel like I work out too much, I know many others who do.    I feel like I don't work out enough some days.  But than I again, I'm afraid to work out too hard.  Why?  Well because I have a herniated disk in my lower spine that has a little bulge...too little to need surgery.  But enough to cause my feet to go numb & my siatic nerve to tremor throughout the day, not to mention my back locking up.   Because of this injury I was unable to workout for over 4 months.  Than I was put on light & easy exercises for nearly 6 months after.  Having to endure this & the pain that was associated with it I am terrified of re-injuring myself worse.  That is why I started 2 weeks ago (this will be week 5) of working with a personal trainer who is running a boot camp.  However the boot camp only runs for 1 more weeks & than I will be left on my own.  Also, after last week's workout I had serious issues with my latissimus dorsi muscles on both side of my back.  The were pulled to the point where I couldn't even bend over to pick up my kids toys.  I asked one of the trainers what to do & they showed me some stretches for my back which helped so that I could at least get in my workouts.  I would love to win this weeks giveaway that is being sponsored by Mamavation.  I feel that it would be beneficial to learn from another trainer some techniques that would help me to my goal of losing 50#s & dropping a few sizes.  I will definitely be logging on tonight to watch what Coach Erika,  FFIT at Home  has to teach all of us tonight.
