A week or so ago, I did a new workout video. It was the Gin Miller Workout with Weights DVD and I really love her teaching style and moderate pace. I have not been very diligent about working out with weights…bad bad girl…but pretty disciplined with walking on the treadmill on a regular basis.
So I told myself.…I WILL do a weight routine 2 times a week.
I did the 40 minute routine, which felt really good, except I realized that I never should have let so much time pass since I was doing weights on a regular basis…I knew I was going to feel this in the next couple days.
The day after, I felt pretty good actually…day after that, really felt it in my bum and thighs (there were squats in the routine)…then a couple days later…POW.…I had pain twinges in my lower back or hip…couldn’t really pin point it. From what I could tell…with me just guessing.…is that I was SO TIGHT that maybe some nerves were pinched and needed to stretch out the pain.…which I decided WAS in my hip.
Hello Google…How to Deal with a Pinched Nerve in Your Hip.…and WA LA here is the group of stretches that did the trick!
I would love to hear from you if you do try these…I’m going to start doing them as actual STRETCHES on a regular basis. If you have suggestions for remedies that you want to share, please comment!
