Glute Pain

[Phdgranny]

About to do W4R3 tomorrow and I have a dull ache in my left glute muscle. I religiously do my stretches including the ‘dead pidgeon’ its not too bad but at 63 I don’t want to do damage. I had an X-ray a couple of years ago as I had hip pain then but was told there was no evidence of arthritis but the conclusion was the tendons at the front of my pelvis were tight.

I am so loving doing this I do want to keep going!!

I had sore glutes for a couple of days around W3 or 4, and found that bridges helped......worth a try 👍😁

Just done these for the first time tonight, don't really have any issues but trying to up my strength work as I'm still not running due to pesky colds!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Mum22boys]

The colds are,quite literally a pain!

Mr OF currently keeping me awake with coughing bouts...oh dear x

[Mum22boys Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Oh no, hope Mr OF gets better soon and you can get some sleep! This has been a strange one, no coughing but congestion and nausea... can't wait to get out again, need my sanity back!! x

You lie on your back, draw up your legs and push hips up!

Agree with the advice to do bridges. I also had glute pain late on in the programme but it's all stopped now. It might also be worth looking at the advice on posture as that helped enormously.

Thanks Roxdog!
