Ouch

One of the main reasons we exercise is so that we can move freely as we move though our 40's. We have avoided injury and move much better than we did only a couple of years ago.

I have, however, had ongoing soreness in my right hip flexor or psoas muscle. I have generally just stretched and worked through it.

On Thursday 9/27 we did this one:

Tabata Protocol
Dumbbell Clean & Press x 10 @ 35#/35#
Russian Twists x 20 @ 25# plate
Kettlebell Swing x 10 @ 35#
Kneeups x 20 (Captain's Chair)
Dumbbell Clean & Press x 10 @ 35#/35#
Russian Twists x 20 @ 25# plate
Kettlebell Swing x 10 @ 35#
Kneeups x 20 (Captain's Chair)

2-minute break

Tabata Protocol
Dumbbell Clean & Press x 10 @ 35#/35#

Kettlebell Swing x 10 @ 35#
Kneeups x 20 (Captain's Chair)
Dumbbell Clean & Press x 10 @ 35#/35#

Kettlebell Swing x 10 @ 35#

(on this set of clean & presses my hip flexor tighten up in the back and began to hurt like hell, more on that later)

2-minute break

Dumbbell Clean & Press x 10 @ 35#/35#
Russian Twists x 20 @ 25# plate
Kettlebell Swing x 10 @ 35#

At this point we were both exhausted and I was actually in real pain, unable to bend over. So we stopped there. It was an excellent workout, but I should have stopped sooner.

Still not invincible, I'm afraid.
