I envy you gents. All of my life I was an athlete. I even trained and participated in endurance competition for over 20 years. I was into cycling, running, swimming and weight training for most of my life.

About 10 years ago I got a very severe case of Shingles that got into my sciatic nerve. It was horrific. Ever since then, I get sciatica on a regular basis. This last stint of severe sciatica onset in March and it is still killing me. It makes working out very difficult, and running impossible. BUT, it's time to get back on that horse since I have not worked out since the recent onset in March.

Today;

Light stretching, followed by;
20 minutes of Yoga keyed in for the Sciatic
20 minutes of mile cycling on the exercise bike. A sitting position does not really bother the sciatica.
100 crunch situps, 40 pushups from knees (can't do toes with sciatica)
2 minutes of mild back arches

--------- 30 lb dumbells --------

2 sets of 15 reps each
Arm flies
hammer curls
regular curls
overhead press while seated
Kickbacks

Have a good day gentlemen

Well, at least you have a 15 year run of SOMETHING, Steve!

I hear you with the sciatica. The issues in my hip all run to yhe sciatic nerve and was mimicing sciatica. Is more gocused now but with the laberal tear still need to be careful. Problem is cant stop as between the bulging disc in back and hypermobility grt other issues stopping.

Chiro says will be working out till I'm dead or expecting back issues, hip dislocations and other issues on top. Damned if I do but screwed if I dont.
