Pre challenge work out

Saturday I was able to get a late night work out in.  One of the few over the last month due to my calf injury.  I had decided to take some time to rest a nagging wrist discomfort.   Unfortunately,  it has not gone away.  Since I'm hoping to be good to get back in the gym tomorrow,  I wanted to see what I could do for my wrist.

My wrist issues seem to have begun when I ripped my old lifting gloves.  I replaced them with another Harbinger pair, but not the same as the ones I had.  I think the wrist support was not as wide and over some time I aggravated my wrist.  I took a trip to the local Sports Authority,  but they didn't have the ones I hoped to find.  I settled for a cheap pair of wrist wraps that also has a loop for the thumb, but not sure .  I tried them on and definitely see that they will help, but I will only need one for my left wrist.  They managed to fit under my gloves and did a good job through all my exercises.   I ordered the Schiek pair I wanted online from eBay, and hope these will hold up more than the ones I bought at Sports Authority.

Tomorrow will be my first cardio since my calf tear. I'm a little nervous, but will do a lower intensity HIIT in hopes of no reinjury. m
