I’ve been doing the Jumerope + Dumbell program for a while, currently in M2W3. Living the program and how I feel!
Last Monday, after my workout was done, I felt a pinch in my back between my shoulder blades. I didn’t feel anything wrong during the workout except maybe a bad push up form close to the end of the workout.
The pain was the type that makes you freeze your and slowly try to straighten out. I don’t know if it was a muscle spasm or a pinched nerve. I had to take the rest of the week off to recover with different stretches, yoga, and foam rolling.
This morning I decided to restart M2W3, but stopped after the first set of 45 seconds because I could feel the same spot in my back. It’s not as painful, but I’m afraid to aggravate the area more.
Has anyone had this problem before? How much longer should I wait before restarting the program?
I don’t think this caused the issue but I just started using a mat from Crossrope to try and extend the life of my rope. I only had it a few days before this problem started and was just on concrete prior to using the mat.
Should I try without the mat when I restart the program? Could the cushioned bounce be contributing to the back issue, or is it just a coincidence?
