- Hi! In this video, I talk about my injury - how it happened, how I’m adjusting, plans moving forward, and other topics. I do have two training videos that were recorded before the injury, and those will be out soon.
I plan to record some upper body workouts, cooking/meal prep, and some talking videos. If there’s something specific you’d like to see, please let me know!
Injuries happen to all of us at some point. If there’s a lesson learned or if we’re able to see the opportunities within it, it will be an overall gain. #womensfitness #womenshealth #fitfam #womenempowerment
Hearing your voice, full of emotion, touches my soul. It will be a long and hard road, as you say, both physically and mentally, but you are strong, you are brave, you are Erin!!! Let us never forget that.
You are a spectacular powerhouse in body and mind. Life has many chapters; this is just another one in the story of you. I love that you are turning your attention to learning and playing your violin. These are things you may not have had time for until now. Godspeed! ❤
July 6 failed down the stair fractured ankle left ankle
Wishing you all the best Erin!! Get well and recover quickly!!♥️💪🏻
Thank you, Richard!
This is not a simple subject Erin. The mental part is very difficult. I've broken both legs 11 years ago. Went through 10 surgeries and had an amazing dr from Dallas. The surgeries took a lot of me. The aftermath with all the scars have taken a huge toll. I'm not going to bore you and your followers. Best advice, take your time with physical therapy. Your body will eventually heal. Maybe and I stress maybe. Maybe you will be 100 % after it's all said and done. I couldn't get to 100 % myself but you learn to live with it! If you're religious prayer might work. I will follow your amazing wisdom no matter what ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are a great speaker! It's not easy to encourage others when one is going through something like that. But you got it...and in such a wonderful way.
We are lucky to have you!
Erin: warrior girl.
Thanks once more!
Your effort is worth it.❤
Get well soon Erin. You are very inspiring ❤ you are still my Wonder Women 💪🏼
Oh, bless your heart, I am so sorry to hear about your injury! I myself am recovering from a nasty concussion. The main thing I've learned from this 'setback' is that "You have more than you know," and now, it's time to rely and put to good use the 'mindset' you've used to get this far. I will pray for your renewed good health. To me, these troubles are a "wake-up" call and time for introspection and making new decisions about where you are going in life. Amen sister, Godspeed
You are FAR from an average person, you're an elite athlete. Of course you will make a full recovery soon! It will be amazing, but it won't be surprising.
Ahh, thank you so much!
Saying a prayer for a speedy recovery
Wow Erin. I’ve been there with my shoulder and arm tendon issues. You are adding to what I’ve learned. I dropped my strong side down to tone weights instead of grow weights. So when I got better from my injuries I wasn’t way ahead or A symmetrical as you said. I’m looking forward to the food info. I’m really proud of your confidence ideas. David took out the big guy with a little stone. Stand strong and keep faith. I’ve injured everything in my body at least once. I spent 4 years in a chair trying to heal from injuries that were mistreated by a surgeon. I finally found a good ortho . I got back on my weak legs 9 years ago. I picked up lifting again at 59. I’m now 67 . I’ve had surgery on both shoulders . Set backs for weight lifting. Dropped clear back to 5 lbs weights and started over . Now it’s low weights high reps. Worked my way back. You’ll get there. Anything I can do to help message me. Go girl . Good plan.
You are an amazing example of woman! Wishing you soon recovery ❤️🙏
You are going to be one of the ones who come back to 110%! You got this girl!
So sorry that happened to you! You have the right attitude and approach tho and because of that, you will get thru it just fine! 👍🙌💪🏼
Thank you!
I injured myself last December (cervical herniated discs, which triggered degenerative neck issues). I am still not training my upper body, but I have finally accepted it. I was in denial for a few months, and then the whole mourning period of having to change my yearly goals, and come to terms with the fact I might never get back to aerial dancing. These days I am much more positive, and focusing on other dreams.
This video is awesome. I think it will really help others who may get injured. I feel like there is not enough out there regarding mental health in relation to injuries and sports/dream disruptions. Thank you for sharing your story. Can't wait to see what you decide to share.
My right Achilles is damaged. It's not as long as it should be so tough to stretch like left side. Mini indoor trampoline killed it. I chose not to do surgery. My brother in laws snapped. It's taken him a year to get back to trusting it. I have discussed with Dr. on how to protect it as best I can. It could snap as it's not fully attached in one small area. It's small enough that it can and has healed itself but with drawbacks. No jumping. No long walks. Daily stretches.
I do cardio by using rest of body to get heart rate up. Fast weight sets ,low wgt. Squats don't bother it so lucky I can do those too. Lots of ab work too. Praying for your healing! You are a blessing to so many. You got this❤❤❤❤
After my injury falling backwards down 15 stairs with a dresser on me, broken left tibea and all bones fractured in my back, I recovered. I'm older and not as strong as you. You are my hero and a hero and an inspiration to sooooo many.. You'll heal for yourself and all of us do depend on you. You are beautiful kind honest and just a very awesome human being. You are loved. After my injury maybe I'm not a body builder but I've never took advantage of just simply being able to walk. When I get lazy to don't eat properly I'll get bone pain. This accident happened to me around 5 years ago. I love the idea that your doing different things to keep yourself motivated. For myself almost every night I continue my leg exercises. I'm so satisfied just being able to do that. And reading, I have not stopped since my injury. I'm in the 100s right now with my books. Very gratifying.Gid bless and remember we need you❤🎉
Erin, I have been following you for some time now, and I respect you so much. Thank you for always sharing so transparently...you will get through this!!! ❤
Sorry to hear about your injury Erin. I'm 60 and just getting back to 100% this year from a serious leg injury 5 years ago. Age takes a toll on muscle loss, etc. One day at a time lady, one day at a time. Wishing you well and a complete if not speedy recovery. Do it right, don't do it twice.
Thank you Erin, your message really resonates with me. A few years ago, I tore three ligament on my right shoulder. I had surgery and it took me a year to fully recover. I promised myself, I was going to be stronger and better than ever post surgery. Here I am now, at 65, the best I have ever been. You are a beautiful human being and an inspiration, you will be back to be the best version of yourself. I am sure of that. ❤
I have to say you have the best attitude about the whole thing. There’s nothing fun about set backs when you’re so active at the top of your game but you WILL come back better than ever in many way. You learn a lot about yourself in hard times. Make the best of recovery and take it easy when you can to heal. Having fun doing other things is a great idea too. You inspire us all in so many ways. You’ll be back… no doubt in my mind on that one! ❤️💪🙌💯
Respect. 👊
Thanks for the update Erin. Attitude is everything! You'll definitely come out on the other side with more gains - Mentally, 'spiritually', and physically - with that mindset.
You've definitely got this. 💪🏽😊
Wishing you a full recovery and complete restoration.
Wishing you a speedy recovery! Love the videos! Stay positive!
Thank you, Dennis!
Speed recovery and will be waiting for you to shine and rise as you have always been and definitely you are shining now. All the best wishes on earth for you, you are truly an inspiration
All the best wishes for a speedy recovery ❤ with that mindset you'll be back in no time💯
Erin, you keep on inspiring me! Thank you for the reminder of training our mindset, especially when we are injured. I wish you a speedy and healthy recovery!
Your amazing Erin!
First, I'm so sorry that this happened to you. But thank you for creating and sharing this video, 🙏 .
You are so very correct that there is so much that goes into injures both mentally and physically, beyond what most talk about.
I had both my hips reconstructed last year, November/December 2023. And found myself in the middle of an identity crisis, having to accept that I couldn't compete in bodybuilding, teach group fitness, move the way I want to, and/or do the things that brought me happiness.
It was so very hard to accept that I had to start over, yet again.
It was hard to have that disconnect between my mind and my body. I wanted to get back to the level I was at prior to my injuries so badly.
Thank you for discussing these things and helping people learn to navigate these periods. Your growth mindset of controlling what you can, keeping positive, and doing your best, well that's what makes you a true champion.
I will be saying some prayers for your surgery and continued healing. Be patient with yourself, rest, and heal. And I hope that soon this experience will be behind you!
Thank you! How are you healing now? Thank you for sharing your story. I can’t imagine how hard that just have been.
I know that doors often close for us over time or because of things that happen. But doors open, too! What new doors have opened for you? I hope you are doing well now! Sending you hugs!
@ErinSternFIT I am well. I just have been cleared to go back to the normal routine about 1 month ago. Have my range of motion back, and slowly... very slowly, lol, I am getting stronger. Back to more stability/mobility type of training, but my strength dropped significantly. Took me a while to work through those feelings, but I am happy to say that I am pain-free and working my way back incrementally. New doors that have opened for me would be that i have had time to focus on my voice and singing, that was my original passion and career, before getting into fitness. Thank you for asking. You're such a kind and beautiful soul.
Your words of wisdom come at the perfect time. Lots of us struggle with physical injuries and also mental ones. "No resting in the middle. You rest at the end" is a wonderful way to sum up things. I had an Achilles injury 3 weeks before I was trailing to make the Olympic rowing team. Talk about crying! That crew went on to win a gold 4 yrs later. Me? I was expecting my second child that year. I am a firm believer that things do happen for a reason. Resting and recovery times are important and if ignored, well, things happen. To hear of your plans to pick up the fiddle, your bow, better your Spanish...fantastic things to work on! So great to hear of your other interests. Speaks volumes as to how well rounded of an athlete/ individual you really are. Not that there was any doubt 😂. Looking forward to hearing/ watching your upcoming videos. Heal well ❤🙏
I am 12 years post Achilles repair surgery. Calf on that side is still much smaller and strength is probably 50% of non injured side. Hopefully you get back to 100%. Please share your recovery.
I would love, your recovery workout. You
are so appreciated and sending love and light. ❤️🧘
I think THIS video is SO important! I am terrified of getting injured but hearing how you are dealing with this is so helpful and inspiring! And you can make videos showing us how you are training with this injury. Literally...you can still do upper body training videos and you can show us step by step what and how you will train with this injury. And these mindset videos are AMAZING, we all need this type of content. Maybe make a video on how YOU do visualizing?
Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 ❤❤❤
It is encouraging and refreshing for you to come on in the midst of or even the beginning of a hard battle, Erin. Thank you, you are courageous! Your example will be one that many look to as they go through their own tough times. My motto is always- "Okay, I'm here; so what is 'right' about this situation?" The little positive things we hang on to are the ones that give us the strength to keep moving forward!
Thank you for allowing us to come along side you in this journey 🌹🌹
Much love Erin. Thank you for the additional info! Rest well to get well!
I’ve been waiting for this update because I knew you’d come with an amazing perspective.
Hi Queen , great to see u ;) I’m so awestruck that u r the one injured , but ur giving all your followers encouragement and praise . Ur amazing , u have such a beautiful heart ❤️ sending u lots of light and love 🎉
Thanks Erin . Very inspirational especially what to eat on a rest day and mindset on dealing with set backs. I had an Acl injury 25 years ago and that never stopped me training. I goylt surgery only 2 years ago and now I can finally jump and side step without fear oh and ski. Get well soon x
Wise and humble woman… some evolved thinking in action. Sharing it … and moving on in joy. All the best Erin. Take care. Thank you.
Erin thank you so much for sharing your journey, through past pain and current injury. As a clin psych I second all of your sagely advice. I have torn a back ligament, had a level 3 sprained ankle and..cancer
At 64 now I have learned at last to not push through the warning signs and the pain, to pull back and train a little differently if just as hard. I have also learned that an iron will tempered by wisdom becomes a strength and not an obstacle. You will be better and stronger on the other side. You contribute so much to women’s journeys to become strong in body and mind, without competing on the stage. Yes reflect,regroup and rediscover. Archery and the fiddle are cool btw 😊💕
My heart gos out to you! I recently broke my nose doing skull crushers with a 25 pound dumbbell…I’ve been lifting for 20 years. I knew better wasn’t gripping it. Thank you for this video. Sending you healing energy ❤️
Thanks for your inspiration! Speedy recovery!❤
Sending healing 🙏. I totally get it. I had a paddle board injury, and have had several injuries over years from training. Can you run in the pool with a belt?
Keep your head high girl. You’re the best in this industry. ❤️😘
Positive attitude is a game changer
Wishing you all the best
Thank you so much!
I wish you a fast and healthy recovery. I feel for you. You have the right mindset and you will be training before you know it.❤
Great video, Erin. I love your attitude. We all need to decide when adversity comes to have a great attitude and focus on what we can do and then turn that adversity into our advantage. Looking g forward to growing and learning with you. Stay strong, and I wish you a perfect recovery as you move along these months. Rose 🌴
You are awesome to think of other healthy hobbies! I had surgery and a rough recovery from going back to work too soon and fell into drinking and indulging in bad food.... I did have fun doing it, but now I'm paying the price! Get well soon, you got this!
Wish you well to a speedy recovery. I know you will get back much stronger from this. You such a beautiful person take care. ❤💪🏽
You're strong not only in body but in spirit. I really look up to you, and you're such a great person for insights, even when you're in recovery. Thanks for the update and the vulnerability. Love u!
Ag shame Erin, so sorry to hear. All the best for your recovery.
You are amazing! Such a terrible thing you're experiencing and yet you have the power and determination to be so positive and inspirational. Couldn't have chosen a better role model in this aspect of my life. Wishing you all the best and a fast recovery. ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am planning on getting foot surgery this year and I am so afraid of getting completely out of shape being off my feet for 3 months. These videos are very reassuring.
wow I know you will be ok You are a champion!!
So sorry to hear this, Erin. Your posts have been so good technically and so upbeat, they’ve become among the small number of go-to’s to inform my training. I’m grateful for the advice and perspective. You’re tough, and I’m sure you’ll overcome this obstacle and be among those athletes who make a 100% recovery. Keep strong. We’re all in your corner.
I am so sorry that this happened to you. You are a strong, resolute, beautiful person - inside and out - and nothing will stop you in your recovery. I wish you all the best, and happy fiddling!
Love your attitude and outlook! Wishing you fast recovery ♥
About what I would love to see next: I am 45 and started going to the gym for the first time couple of months back. I was inspired by you and dr. Stasy Sims. I bought your Bikini Bod program, finished (loved it) now on Gain Muscle program. I am doing it for health benefits not to build a perfect body. So If you would create a program or few videos in the same line what Stacy Sims sugest specifically for perimenopausal/ menopausal women 4-5 times a week program that would be amazing! Thank you
Erin, you’re absolutely my inspiration I’m many many years older than you but you have no idea how you inspire me. You will be back better stronger and more beautiful than ever. Prayers are with you my beautiful friend.❤
Boy! I needed to hear this as I sit here with a femoral pinched nerve. You are my inspiration and believe I will recover after I see the spine doctor today. I will lift you in prayer for your recovery.❤ I'm 72 and my hormones are acting up.
Erin! Its amazing that I too had to take this day off. All I wanted to do was see your new clip for the week! Here you are, Gracious as Ever, and always encouraging. I will still be looking to you for such "All-In" lifestyle. I had really bad 'spasticity in my hands" today, I couldn't get dressed.Definitely going to Keto. I know you'll have some new recipes.
As always, love and prayers to you, dear one.
Love and prayers to you, Mary! I hope your hands are better! Please keep pushing and keep knowing when to rest ❤️ nothing blooms year-round! Thank you
Wishing you a full recovery, Erin. I tore my medial meniscus, it's been almost a year. Not being able to do anything lower body even walk I didn't do anything. I knew I should work upper but I couldn't bring myself to do it. So I lost a lot of muscle. And I gained weight. This week I actually decided enough was enough and have been working on upping my protein back to where it should be and for now getting some cardio in just to see what my knee can handle. I'll miss not doing squats anymore but I have seen your videos where you were providing alternatives. That has actually strengthened my belief that I don't need squats and especially with everything else you have taught me since the first oxy challenge. You got this, coach ❤
You are an inspiration to us all! I know you’ll come back stronger and better because of this 💪❤️ I just recovered from a really bad sciatica flare up after over doing it on deadlifts and stretching and ignoring my body’s signals. Now I’ve adjusted my training and realized that my 48 year old strong body needs to be respected and nurtured the older I get ❤ Hang in there there Erin! You are a beautiful example of strength and determination!
Wishing you all the best on your recovery road ahead. This past April was my 1 year anniversary following my surgery for Achilles rupture so I understand how devastating this can be. Being an avid squash player, it was hard knowing I wouldn't be able to play for a long while. I really had to change my mindset to not focus on what I couldn't do, but to focus on every new thing I could do as I progressed in my recovery. Setting realistic expectations and celebrating each improvement as a win really helped me to stay motivated and was as important as sticking to doing proper sports focused rehab. If I can share one thing from my recovery journey, it is that the recovery progress is not linear. The first 8 weeks you'll see noticeable week over week improvements as you work up to removing the boot, but once the boot comes off, those week by week improvements will not be obvious and it is easy to get discouraged thinking you are not improving. During that period, improvements week over week may be miniscule, only in the form of feeling you can do a movement (e.g. assisted single leg calf raise) slightly more easily than previous week. But if you stick your rehab exercises, and track your progress as an overall directional trend, you will come to a point where you will all of a sudden see massive improvements again. It's been more than 6 months now that I'm back in the gym and playing squash again back to my previous level and I'm so grateful for the things I learned about myself through this recovery road. I know you will come back stronger as well!
Oh Erin, I'm so sorry! I wish you a speedy recovery. I can't tell you how timely your video is. I'm recovering from shoulder impingement and inflammation of my knee with fuild. I just received cortisone shots in both places. I'm so bumded that I have not been able to lift and do cardio. To my great surprise, your video popped up on my feed. I'm sitting here watching your video icing my knee. Thank you for all of your encouraging words. It makes me feel that I'm not alone with this. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I do hope for your speedy healing. It has been a really depressing time for me. Love you, sister. 🎉❤
HI Erin, your strength and determination will turn this setback into a powerhouse comeback! During this hard time, enjoy time for yourself. T
hank you for sharing and wishing you a healthy recovery. ❤🌸🤗🐝
Get well soon ❤I have injury as well happened 2 weeks ago, I injured ligaments of my ankle … Thank you for sharing all this knowing how difficult it is to accept, adjust and being patient! Lots of love and fast fully recovery ❤
Well said! ♥ You are strong and you will crush this! Success is always on the other side of that same path as our obstacles, failures and limiting beliefs. You are right when you said that we do not grow when we are comfortable where we are. We need to push beyond our self-limiting beliefs because we are meant for more and have the capability to achieve more. Believe that you can, and you WILL! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, and remember Erin, that you have a loving "fit fam" that are here to support you through this... Hugs!
Sending lotsa Light and Love🤗♥️🙏💪🤝 You got this, Warrior Sis❤❤❤
Sending my best wishes for a speedy recovery dear Erin, you're an inspiration to so many. You can do this!
Beautiful advice Erin! I can empathize, in that just before reaching my fitness goal I broke my patella. I didn't have health care at the time, so my recovery was long and hard. My leg was emaciated and I didn't walk right for years. I got back on the horse and started training again to the best of my ability. I learned to strengthen not only my body but also my mind. I don't think I would be as mentally strong today had that not happened. Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏 ❤️ All the best!!
We love You Erin, you are such a wonderful soul 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so much for sharing the major change that we all go through at one time or another physically and as we start to age. At 60 years of age I fell off an electric scooter and had my first major physical injury. It took 6 months for me to walk more comfortably and not feel as much pain in my left knee. I had to start thinking about ways to protect my body and my mind as I was getting older. I joined a gym a year ago and followed your videos. I take supplements but have learned a few more things from you. You said aging is a privilege it made me feel better. There are things I cannot do and managing my weight is a whole new ball of wax as I used to be super thin. I think you're going to attract a whole new audience, people like me who are now 65. I would love to see some senior exercises to help people ramp up their metabolism and stay flexible. God bless❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your story - I’m glad you’re lifting and actively working towards protecting your body and mind ❤️ thank you also for the suggestion! Moving forward, I’ll talk more about longevity and increasing health span - this injury was a wake up call for me as well. Hugs to you!
Erin I believe everything happens for a reason no matter how painful mentally & physically.
You will come back stronger & this may even prompt you to get out of that comfort zone which we are all guilty of especially when you have your goals & have a physique like yours.
Much love ❤
Oh my God!! Please accept all my courage and solidarity, Erin!! You will return to training normally, you will see. I remember Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, but long before them, Dominique Wilkins, all of them basketball players, they came back from a terrible Achilles tendon injury like the one you now unfortunately have, and you have as much or more courage than them. All my support, love and respect. We will be watching your videos to support you. Get well soon. Please accept a huge hug!!
Thank you, Rolando! I really appreciate your time and your kind words! ❤️
You have such a great mindset regarding this injury Erin! Keep it up, you’re going to come back better than ever!!
I have bone graft too from my hip into my neck. 3 disks. I just worked out and will never give will never look back with regrets. You have helped me in so many ways. I love bragging on you and sharing your videos. 🥰
Thank you for sharing your story. I have no doubt in my mind that you’ll accomplish all of this! You’ve been my favorite CZcamsr for so many reasons, you’re inspiring, hardworking, and knowledgeable. Sending you love, well wishes, and good vibes ❤️
Blessings Erin ,I will be praying for your full recovery, talk God he will strengthen you and give you peace❤
You are an inspiration to me and so many others. May your recovery bring you blessings upon blessings.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Erin! You are such an inspiration, thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us!
Thanks for the update, Erin and so sorry to hear of your injury. I’ve ruptured both Achilles’ tendons, about 12 years apart, playing volleyball both times. Yes, it took a long time to heal and to rehab following surgery but I was determined to return to sport. You are an elite athlete so hard work will be right up your alley! You’ve got this and thanks for your inspiring words!
Stay strong Erin, you have the right mindset. You will recover. Wishing you a speedy recovery 💜
Thanks for your dedication to us. Your videos are so helpful. Praying for your healing and recovery.
Erin, sending so much love and prayers for quick healing and recovery for you. Thank you for sharing your positive outlook and inspiration and encouragement with us. Love and appreciate all that you do!
I’m following your videos for sure during this time. We will over come our challenges. Thank you, Erin. I learn from you!
😲 I will definitely be praying for your healing and recovery process!
Wish you early recovery. Your videos have always been so inspiring, and your positivity and courage in these difficult times are more so. Take care.
Un millón de gracias Erin! 🙌🏼 Eres un gran ejemplo a seguir! Te deseo una recuperación óptima y rápida. Siempre tienes las palabras exactas para seguir inspirando a tantos de nosotros. Gracias! Gracias! Gracias! Con toda mi admiración 🙌🏼🫶🏼💕
Timely video for me. Working through fractures in both elbows currently. I've been focusing on healing, but today was a difficult one. Needed these reminders. Thank you. Wishing you a speedy recovery and continued laser focus.
You are an amazing athlete and an amazing person. You will get through this stronger both mentally and physically. Concentrate on the things you can control and don't stress about the things you can't control. Your fans love you
Oh Erin I’m so sorry! You are and continue to be an inspiration, and as a cancer survivor I empathize so much with the unexpected and devastating mental and emotional impact of physical challenges. All I can say is your greatest asset in the road to recovery is your amazing mindset, which got you to Olympia twice! You have the most impressive mind body connection ever and I know you will heal beautifully and recover your strength. Thank you for sharing your journey and you’ve got this!! Also P.S. Pho is super high in collagen and nourishing broth! Swap out the rice noodles for kelp noodles to boost the nutrition and reduce the carbs! 😉
I’m so sorry, Erin, that this happened. My residency was in orthopedic post-op and I’m not gonna lie, there will be pain and it will take time. But, wanting to heal and wanting to get better is the mindset you need to have and you have it. Keep as active as you’re allowed (tendons, ligaments, cartilage don’t have as much blood flow as other tissues in the body hence they take longer to heal). It sounds like you are on the right track. There may be days you feel discouraged or down; that’s normal. I’m wishing you a complete recovery ❤️🩹
Thank you so much ❤️
Wishing you a speedy recovery and happy to hear your positive outlook on this. You continue to impress and inspire me with every video and workout!
I hope you make a full recovery, it is not easy. I am not a competative athlete and I ruptured my achillies when I was mid 50s. The injury healed well and caused me no significant problems, it did take a few months though. Good luck Erin, and thank you.
Hi Erin, i am,so,sorry to hear that you have,been injured, however from this video, i can clearly see that you have the right attitde and outlook. That is admirable. I have been working to your videos, 5 days a,week from 2019. You are an inspiration to so,many and you dont even know. I wish you much better and with your level of maturity, i am,confident that you will continue to persevere and win too, take care of yourself
I'm proud of all the hardship you've pushed through. You are an INSPIRATION. And I can't wait to see how sick and ripped you are on the other side if this healing process. Big hug! 💙
Thank you for sharing your experience ,strength & hope.I admire integrity,heal fast& well ,Onward on the Journey..
Erin! So sorry to hear about the injury. You will be back and working hard in no time!
Thank you very much for talking about the mindset too. Wish you a speedy recovery 🙏
The speediest of healing to you. Really looking forward to some core strengthening exercises as I was thinking this is where I need to focus. Thank you
You are very lucky you were able to get surgery so quickly. I have failth in your recovery. Many years ago I had a career ending knee injury and I was told I would never do lots of things again, and I low and behold, I do most of them now but with a full knee reconstruction. Be kind to yourself, you will make a full recovery, let it take as long as it does.
Hi Erin, I know exactly how rough it is to get an injury on the lower body. For me, it came before I had even started bodybuilding, but the first set of physiotherapy exercises I had programmed was the start of my entire body recomp and now my passion for bodybuilding. I am 60% recovered from my knee injury now after 22 months in physical therapy. I have gotten hugely philosophical about what I CAN do even with this limitation and for me it’s been huge because realising my injury came from a weak lower half was hugely eye-opening and forced a total change in my way of life and even led me to your amazing videos.
I know you can get through this. It sounds like one hell of a nasty injury but you are one tough cookie and I admire your fighting and positive spirit. Stay strong, focus on the future and you’ll emerge from this even wiser and tougher! Love xx
P.S. I've always loved the saying, "Never waste a crisis" and I feel like injuries are a case in point.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and may you heal like brand new....I pray for you Erin💕
