I recently strained my calf and I am trying to figure out how to adjust my training plan after a minor injury. I do not want to stop working out completely but I know I need to be careful with any lower body movements. I am thinking about focusing more on upper body and core for a couple of weeks.

I am also wondering how to slowly reintroduce leg training without re injuring myself. I have heard that you should follow the pain free range of motion rule. I am in the US and I am trying to stay disciplined with my rehab so I can get back to my normal routine as fast as possible.

What is your strategy for training around an injury? Do you find that doing some light movement helps the healing process or is it better to just rest it 100 percent? I am looking for advice on how to maintain my muscle mass while I am forced to scale things back. I would love to hear your experiences with minor setbacks!
