Costochondritis

Who would have thought that my news years resolution was going to injury me. One of my resolutions for 2008 was just 15 minutes of exercise each day. It doesn't sound like a lot but I have started to see results, Hurray! I recently added a resistance band to my routines. Oh boy, was it a workout. It was doing really well hitting a specific trouble area for me (my arms); however, it was also causing a new problem to my body. It is called costochondritis. It is swelling in the chest area. Actually in the rib and lung area. It causes pain when one breaths in or out. Since breathing is kind of necessary, I took a trip to the doctors today. I am thankful that it was amazing quick and now I am back on my way to recovery. I will need to alter my exercise routines just a little to allow this to heal. I will still be exercising though. I really need it and really do enjoy it, too. I think that most of us can give 15 minutes a day, to our bodies since we are expecting many, many years in return.
