Alright, I woke up this morning with my right hip just *throbbing*. And of course, having been in the medical field, I proceeded to diagnose myself.
Inflamed gluteus medius and strained tensor fasciae latae.
It started bothering me after
Zumba class last week (after all the booty-shakin') but got better over the weekend...usually my "rest days".
But
holy h$%#! After teaching Body Attack last night and all the plyometrics, jumping jacks and tuck jumps, I'm sure I aggravated it again! So today will be lots of stretching that looks like this...
 |
| Stretching the gluteus medius |
 |
| Stretching the tensor fasciae latae and IT band |
 |
| Stretching the piriforms (similar to gluteus medius but deeper) |
Don't you hate it when you're injured? You think you can push your body into doing more but sometimes the mind is stronger than the body. Check out:
Coping with a Sports Injury.
In other news....here was last night's dinner and dessert extravaganza....ha-ha-ha!
.... and I melted 70% Green and Black's organic chocolate ( I love this brand!) and drizzled it over strawberries that I froze for about 2 hours.
'nough said.
