How to cross-train around injuries:
If your ankle is sprained, I find the stationary bike feels good and seems to get the blood flow to the area and it hurts less after. You can still do most of the weights at the gym because most of it is sitting or lying down.
Stretching for pain relief is the healing solution. It can be the remedy to reduce the pain because when a body part is injured, we tend to over-compensate and usually walk in a way that puts the back and the rest of the body out of alignment.
If it's shoulder or upper-body problem and you can't participate in a certain sport or activity, walking is great, it helps get rid of lactic acid and is very natural to the body.
Training in the pool is another way to stay in shape by swimming and doing other non-impact exercises. Running, jumping drills, legs kicks and punches under the water work well because you are pushing against the resistance of the water.
Stretching to clear pain:
Flexibility Starts at the Feet
To clear locked tight feet, calves, Achilles, hamstrings, and low back.
Hold the wall or something steady then put one foot on the block to hold it in place while you put the other foot on block to stretch foot back until heel is completely on the floor. Hold until you feel stretched out and go to the other side. Repeat as many times as needed.

Testimonial: "Dear Stacey, Honestly training with your system is the first breakthrough since my body completely seized up from scoliosis last year. I tried osteopathy, yoga, chiro, physio, acupuncture, massages and before you nothing was relieving the legs are blocked & the discomfort I feel from it." Jodi 45
