Laying off all workouts for the weekend

Posted on August 17, 2008 by Thomas Powell

In an effort to avoid any further injury, I’m laying off all workouts this weekend.

I had some concern that my pushups routine was causing strain on already weakened joints, tendons, and muscles. So far, this action has seemed to help more clearly identify where the pain is.

I have some light pain sensations at night on the outside area of my hip. This is a little bit different from the groin pull and piriformis muscle pain that I seemed to have before. I’ll give things another 24 hours before calling the doctor about it, especially considering that today is Sunday and I’ve waited almost two weeks so far.
