Hello Ladies!!
So I started a fitness and diet experiment on Wednesday, one that I really hope I can keep up. I have decided to cut out all sugars and starches, and focus on cardio more than I ever have before. I've been good about Yoga and stretching, but in order to lose weight and take off all the "cute" belly fat I've had on my body since I was 10, the time has come to GET SERIOUS.
So I started jogging/running on a treadmill on WED, and I did it again on FRI, and today, saturday, I am so so sore and tight in my hips I don't know if I can keep it up. Running is such a high impact sport, and I have so many issues with my hips...I don't know if its a good idea to keep it up? Both of you ladies run? Did you find that your body was sore and tight when you first started? Did you keep it up? How can I tell that I am doing something good for my body if it causes me a lot of pain in my hips afterward?
I feel like if I stretched about 2 hours after each run, I could smooth out the tension I create when I'm running, but I don't have the time for all that! Let me know if you have any running stories that might help me power through this little moment of frustration with the side effects of working out!
