Injury!! .... And some workout thoughts

First off I was able to complete all of ChaLean Extreme. WOO HOO!! I took a month off doing random workouts without a real schedule to follow which included swimming. Since we only have a few months of pool time around here I am trying to get in as much as possible!!

I started Round2 of P90X2. It was a lot of fun. I really wanted to do it again. There is so much muscle confusion that I forgot what all the workouts entailed! LOL I got through Week1 and it went well I thought. I got to Week2, Day8 I was doing Warrrior 3 Crunch Tucks (exercise 2) and I did 3 reps when my entire hip either popped or shifted! WOW! It really scared me! My right hip has a history of severe injury. It is actually why I had to get out the Marines. And it took YEARS to heal. I know part of my heart racing was because of the exercise but some of that was from fear.
Did I re-injury a dormant injury? I stopped, I walked around, I did some stretching. I don't think there is any damage but there are some strained muscles. I made it through the workout. I had a decision to make. I'm not 23 years old anymore & I find it takes longer to heal from injury Do I go on? Do I continue with P90X2? Ultimately I decided to take that week off and just concentrate on swimming. Its very low impact & it helps with stretching.
New week started Monday. The hip has been sore but I have doing a lot of sitting and my work was crazy busy. Things have settled down quite a bit. So yesterday I thought about what I was going to do for workouts. I love @Tony_Horton but Im not sure about continuing and my USMC reunion is in November. Time is ticking & I have to get moving on something aside from swimming.

So yesterday I did Day1 of Round4 (?) of @TURBOFIRE.
It went well. My hip muscles are still sore so I modified. I did Fire30 and it went really well. No crazy pain, no stopping because of pain. My conclusion is that there are some strained muscles because there was extra movement in the hip socket that was NOT normal! So your muscles, ligaments, tendons get strained. It's something that can heal & you are perfectly fine! It just scares me when I think I cant workout! I need it!! It helps me manage my stress more then anything else! So I'm back on the TurboFire train! WOOOOT WOOOT!
