I came off a long Discovery series shoot last summer completely wasted. Tendonitis and bursitis in both elbows plus a torn glut muscle (that would be in my butt.) I was wondering where my career was heading since I was a mess. The fall was fairly slow, but I was offered work at the upcoming Vancouver Olympics with NBC, so I took it. Then I had to decide what to do to get ready, having never really exercised in my life.
I'm now at the end of a program called P90X. I saw an informercial in my hotel room while on the Discovery shoot. My intent was to just get into shape, but I've just weighed myself and I lost 14 pounds over the 90 days. My body feels great, I don't get winded any more, and the camera feels lighter. Over the course of the program I missed about 10 of the days because of work, but luckily it's been a little slow. So I took advantage of the downtime and now feel ready for the push at the Olympics.
Rest and recover if you're injured, find a program, get on it, don't give up, push forward.
