After yesterday’s shenanigans(what a great word. I’d like to shake the hand of the man(or woman, or frog, or log) who invented that one), I woke up today with SORE and TIGHT hip flexors.

One of my biggest flaws in my training is that I have weak hips. Weak and tight hips. I don’t stretch them enough, and they just aren’t proportionately strong to the rest of my body. It’s something I need to work on, but like stretching, is something that I overlook a lot.

Today was leg day with Ernie, and that on its own is brutal. I wasn’t sure how I was going to hold up with my hips feeling like they were revolting against me. I thought about taking the day off, but really look forward to leg days. I decided to just go with it and I knew I could always stop if I needed to.

I ended up having an AWESOME workout. My hip was a little fatigued throughout, but I managed to push through it and had a sweat-fest of  a session.

The Workout

Everything was 20 reps…

Leg Press, Decline Leg Press, Quick Step Ups(hard to describe..), Prowler, Leg Extensions, Walking Lunges, DB Walking Lunges, Side to Side Bench Jump Overs-quick, Cable Squats(100#), Scissor Jumps, Frog Leaps, Side High Knees, Toe Touches, Bench Jump Overs(this time jumping over the entire bench), Jump Ups onto a stool, Burpees with a scissor jump, Regular Burpees, In/Out Jumps on a Step, More Frog Leaps.

As you can see, some of these are really hard to describe. The good news is that videos are coming.  I am going to spend hopefully tomorrow or Friday (or possibly Sunday) videotaping some exercises. This will be something that I can hopefully do on a weekly basis. I will see how it works out, so stay tuned.
