A few days ago I started to feel some pain in my lower back. At the time I thought nothing of it, chalking it up to perhaps a bad night’s sleep or lurching over my desk at work. Now I’m starting to think that maybe it is a little more than that.
As the day wears on I feel more and more sore, almost as though I am carrying the weight of my day in my lower and middle back. I mention this because, while the pain is worse in the evenings, the soreness is most prominent in the morning during my workouts. Stretches that cause me to bend at the waist really bother my back. Jumping, bouncing and running motions seem to be bothering me as well. I’m not sure what I’m going to do about this or how I am going to handle this yet as of yet, but for now I’m just going to keep working through it hoping that I can loosen my muscles up through working out and stretching.
To that end, I again was thwarted in my goal to complete a Core Cardio & Balance by my arch nemesis, Hip Flexor Burners. Everything else I can do without rest, but my hip flexors obviously need some work. So I have yet another area of my body to target for strength training, which I fully plan to do because I really, really want to complete an Insanity workout from start to finish without resting at any point during the workout.
So pull for me. I need to work pretty hard in order to make this work.
