So I cracked my L5 vertibre last june. I haven't really been able to wourkout since. I need to start doing cardio again because I know it will help my back. How many of you are trying to get back into the gym? It's tough as hell. I have gained about 20lbs. I look like crap. Oh well, protein drinks, bland chciken and early mornings here I come!!! RR

I haven't had a layoff as long as yours, so I can't know exactly what you're going through...all I can do is empathize, knowing how I feel after smaller breaks (a few months due to injury, etc)...good luck getting back at it bro...and do whatever it takes to keep motivated...
RR, hang in there bro... it's worth it I promise. I just started back a month ago after a two month layoff to heal up my shoulder. it took three PAINFUL weeks of sucking wind and soreness before I got back into a rythme(sp). But it's worth it... I feel much better. :D:D
Same thing for me...i'm going back tomorrow after a 2 month lay off due to my shoulder injury.
I guess I'll be sore as hell on tues :-(
