So I think this is my pivotal week, where I see what I'm really made of. I played ice hockey on Sunday (rest day) night and think I somehow overworked my left hip, as muscles or tendons around the joint are stiff, slightly painful, and I can get it to "click" a little bit. The good news is that it seems to be improving. Bad news is that it prevented me from doing ab ripper last night. I tried each exercise, but engaging all the core/ab area and hip muscles just wasn't happening - the pain and clicking just wasn't letting it happen, so packed it in, but with a plan to rest up and do my best to favor the hip in order for it to recover/heal. The upper body workout wasn't a problem (aside from being upper body weak, that is!).
Skipping the abs last night, getting a good night's sleep led to the hip feeling just about normal today. Didn't notice it at all during everyday normal office work, whereas on Monday I was noticing it. Tonight, during Plyo, I felt it a little, but I was cognizant of it and modified as necessary. Still left a puddle of sweat and felt spent at the end of Plyo, so encouraged that I'm making the right choices. I'll hope for some even better recovery tonight, and will try the abs on schedule tomorrow.
Be careful out there.
