Hello everyone, first of all I want to thank all the coaches and this community. I love freeletics.

Also, I would like to say that I have already consulted a doctor, however, I would like to know if there is someone who can advise me on some training modification or who is training with similar limitations.

I was recently diagnosed with L5-S1 lumbar disc disease, as well as mild spondylosis and mild spondyloarthrosis.

Thank you very much to all

Hey @Fran_K 👋🏻

This is something that comes up pretty regularly, I think the discussion I had with Alexia over the weekend might be helpful 👇🏻

> Hey Alexia wave:t2 Hope you had a great weekend! It will indeed take out most high impact jumping exercises from one’s training but the distinction between “needing to train quietly” and “needing low impact exercises” is pretty important. It shouldn’t be used to limit high-impact exercises that one wants to exclude because they are experiencing pain or discomfit, or at risk of injury. The advice really would be to not train if that is the case until one gets medical input. It’s also always …

There will be some things you can do within the app (i.e. exclude certain exericises) and some things you may need to do on your own volition (i.e. adapt an exercise by substituting it for an alternative).

Hope this helps give an idea where to start! :clapclapstatic:
