Core exercises and running

It’s so good to be pain free!

I’ve had a couple of weeks with pain on my left hip that was impacting my running, my walking, my yoga. I did a few hot baths to relax my muscles, some stretching and rest from running and yoga. I kept some walks at the end of day because it’s always relaxing to me.

But what I’ve been doing consistently for the past 3 weeks is replacing my yoga routine in the morning with just 15 minutes of some core stabilizing exercises. So, I’ve been a series of simple exercises with 20 seconds pause between each repetition:

I could do these exercises even when I was through my hip pain because these weren’t impacting the affected area. After these series then I stretch for a bit and do a 10-minute meditation.

And the pain is gone! I already went for 2 runs this week and I was fine after it. No pain at all ! I’ve been feeling great!

And this recovery process was just in time for the 10K run I enrolled for this weekend! Yay! I will be able to run! 🤗
