So… I just pulled my what?
Tonight I went to my Daily Burn class and the first exercise
was lunges. I tried to get really low on each lunge so I didn’t have to be told
to go lower. Then all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain on my butt. I went on to
the next warm up exercise, leap frogs. OMG my butt, a pain shooting up my butt
check. I went on to inch worms with a push up. At that point I had to tell
Mendy I hurt my butt. How do you tell your trainer you think you pulled your
butt? I thought can you even pull your
butt? She had me go sit on the box (used for box jump) and put my ankle on my opposite
leg’s knee and lean forward and stretch
my butt muscle. Then foam roll my butt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_rolling)
Mendy thinks I pulled my piriformis. Mendy said I should probably call it a day
because the daily burn was going to be intense and involve lots of squats. I
asked if there was anything else I could do. And she gave me some exercise I
could do while the girls carried on with the daily burn. I am so lucky to have
a trainer who can fit a workout to my needs. I was able to do 8 ball exercises
and two sets of each of those. Then more stretching and rolling. When I was
leaving one of the girls at daily burn asked me if she could show me some
stretches for my fiancé to do. I thought she overhead me tell Mendy he was
starting Insanity so I thought that’s what she meant. She had me lay on my
stomach and then she put one hand on my lower, lower back and another on the
bottom part of my butt and pulled in opposite directions. Then put her palm on
the muscle and did circle motions. OMG is it wrong to say it felt good having
someone rub my butt? It helped so much but also made me realize wow I really
did pull it. Good thing she rubbed my butt because once home Greg didn’t. lol Oh
I should probably mention she use to do massage therapy.
Ugh I have no idea how I am going to do tomorrow mornings
workout.
