Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hi everyone,Just a quick update. I've just been doing walk and bike commutes for the past few weeks. No big hikes, and no lifting. I pulled a glute while doing some sumo squats on 4/16. The first week was pretty difficult, but it has gradually gotten better. I sure haven't been able to do any lifting, but I think I'll be able to start in a week or so. The pull was at the top of the muscle where it attaches to the upper part of the pelvis. This set off my SI joint problem as well. This happened because I didn't warm up properly. It was a kettle bell workout, and I hate the warm ups on every one of my KB workouts. I thought I was warmed up enough after doing a round of swings with a light bell, but I went a little too deep on the next round of sumo squats, and POW. The good news is that it's much better. My range of motion is increasing. I was able to ride my bike a few times. Once I'm in the saddle, it's not bad, but starting after stopping was really hard. Getting up out of chairs was awful, and so was just sitting. I couldn't even do upper body lifting. Walking was OK. I did a run/walk a couple of days ago, and that was OK. OK! Lesson learned: from now on I'll choose a good warm up from Cathe before doing any KB workouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Oh ow! I can't say that I've ever had a glute injury before that was more than a minor strain. Hoping DH will rub your cheek for you :)I don't find the warmups on my kbell videos to be adequate or even there to begin with. Maybe you can warm up with a fun dance workout segment first like something from Dance off the Inches? Hugs! Heal quickly M'Dear! Hi everyone,Just a quick update.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 OUCH! What a pain in the...glute! That is a nasty place to pull a muscle! Warming up has become so much more important as we get older. I never used to pay attention to it, but I sure do now! Indyrose, who is only 35 -- er, 53... > > Hi everyone, > > Just a quick update.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thanks so much ! The worst is over, thankfully. It all feels more stable. I have better range of motion. I am going to try a bit of yoga in a little while.I am not going to skip warm ups ever again, that's for sure. That was a dumb, arrogant error. It was really dumb because I have so many DVDs that have fantastic and fun workouts, and DVDs are so easy to swap out. I was feeling pretty unstoppable because my workouts had been pretty good lately. That's the arrogant part. Live and learn. Oh ow! I can't say that I've ever had a glute injury before that was more than a minor strain.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 OUCH! I've never heard of pulling a muscle there but it makes sense. Glad to hear you're doing better now.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Oh I totally fall into the arrogant live and learn category. I warm up fine but totally need to stretch more apres and I'm feeling that lately!It's weird how we change workoutwise over time. I used to be a GX whore and now I have to really work at making it to a class. I'm now what the GX'ers would call " one of those people " , the people who only work out on the floor. I used to do yoga all the time and now it seems like a chore to get me to do yoga! Hugs Thanks so much ! The worst is over, thankfully. It all feels more stable. I have better range of motion.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Thanks! I know, right? I hadn't heard of that, but leave it to me to find a new way to break, LOL.t looked it up on a sports medicine site and found the exact description of the problem. OUCH!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 omg, what an awful pinch angelica!!! so sorry to hear that you have been living in pain and have been limited by it. i can sympathize with how you have been feeling. but yep lesson learned... i need extensive warmup before working out now too... much more than ive ever needed before, and soooo much stretching afterward. gotta take care of the ole bod in so many different ways. it all takes so much time, it is tempting to skip, but then we pay the price :/ live and learn! im glad that it is feeling a bit better now and im sending you healing vibes for a full and fast recovery {{{ angelica }}} :*carolyn.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks Carolyn. I know you can sympathize! You know, after that mess I dealt with last year, it was kind of cool to have a simple uncomplicated " sports injury " . This isn't so bad. Hey, you reminds me that I'll need to adjust my alarm to allow for all of that extra warm up and stretches in the a.m. I've just realized how hazardous it is to be time-crunched. It feels like it tore right where it attaches to the top of the hip. Now that the spasms are gone, I can tell exactly where it happened. I think 2 more weeks and it'll feel back to normal. --out the door because it's gorgeous out today! omg, what an awful pinch angelica!!! so sorry to hear that you have been living in pain and have been limited by it. i can sympathize with how you have been feeling. but yep lesson learned... i need extensive warmup before working out now too... much more than ive ever needed before, and soooo much stretching afterward. gotta take care of the ole bod in so many different ways. it all takes so much time, it is tempting to skip, but then we pay the price :/ live and learn! im glad that it is feeling a bit better now and im sending you healing vibes for a full and fast recovery {{{ angelica }}} :*carolyn. ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
