    I injured my back pretty recently and had to take two months off. All I could do which wouldn’t hurt my back was yoga and really light back conditioning exercises – I also had the flu during that time. When I started poling again I started with the invert program because it was excessive inverting that caused my injury and I didn’t want to start inverting right away and make my back worse. I was so sure I had lost all my strength, but actually I hadn’t. Now it’s been 2 months and while I may not progress as fast as I would like (I’m being really cautious) I definitely feel like I’m where I was before my injury if not stronger/better. So I really doubt you have lost all of your strength! Just start lightly and don’t feel discouraged if you’re feeling weaker than before in the beginning. See it as a opportunity to really practice the basics!
