My right shoulder has been bugging me for months, going click click click whenever I roll my shoulders back. I’ve been working around it but it finally got so aggravating I googled around the interwebs and figured out my first rib has been out of place all this time. With some pushing and prodding, I was able to pop that sucker back into place. No more clicking, no more pain.
What’s been bugging you for way too long that needs to get popped back into place? Today challenge, for 1 point:
3 sun salutations + Spider-man stretches, then 15 squats, 15 jumping jacks to warm up.
Then set a timer for 3 minutes and do squats or lunges at a pace you can maintain without stopping for the entire 3 minutes. While you’re squatting or lunging, locate the thing that’s been bugging you for way too long – it’s probably NOT a shoulder joint; it’s probably some friend or work or love relationship related thing that’s been popped out of place for a while now.
When your 3 minutes is up, reset the timer and go 3 minutes of push-ups (in sets of 5) or pull-ups (in sets of 3). While you’re pushing or pulling, figure out how you’re going to get what’s out of place popped back into place.
At the end of 3 minutes, 3 deep breathes, and go pop your metaphorical 1st rib back into place.
1 point for figuring out what’s out of place, an extra point for doing it. Let us know in the comments what you figured out and/or did today.

Done. Out of place: poor shoulder flexibility, no clinical work. Fix: shoulder stretches, sending CV around.

Done!
Usually I make to-do lists. Often they are long and made with very ambitious goals and are left incomplete. Today I made a list with only three very focused goals. I didn’t wait until today to write them out, I wrote them last night before going to bed. I sat them beside my alarm clock so it would be the first thing seen upon awaking. It’s 2:40 and they have been touched! Check!

During my lunges I recognized that my self awareness and effectiveness was out of place, because of all the other stuff that has been popping up. During push-ups I decided to pop things back into place by tackling 4 things off my to do list that I had been putting off for weeks!

Done! Triceps got a nice little burn. Felt like most of the blocks were between my mind and the clock.

Done! An old friendship was out of place and I’ve come to peace with that it has to stay there. My solution is to be well with it all!! Also out of place is my QF92 participation…solution: SEE YOU SATURDAY!

What’s out of place is a relationship that I keep trying to pop back into place but it doesn’t stay that way for long. Realized today that maybe I’m trying to make it go where it doesn’t belong so gonna just let it be. #planktified

Done. My hips have been out of whack since the car accident. Lots of pigeon pose. More metaphorically, a work relationship. But it may take a little more than a pop to get it back into place.
