Had my first practice day. Loved the day but i have been in real pain ever since with my ribs. I have spent the day in A&E being monitered and have cracked a rib!! I wasnt wearing a rib protecter but now have one on order. Im really worried about getting back into the kart due to being in so much pain this time.
Will the protecter make that much difference or do i have to start thinking about my upper body fitness?
I have a manual job so im pretty used to being bent about and not ever had this rib problem before.

Do you guys "warm up"? Do you have a training program?

Im in Snr's so im no spring chicken and prob could do with looseing a few pounds but im not really interested in loosing weight and just need to improve my fitness a bit.

Cheers

Matt
