Butt Connector
went walking for the first time on a treadmill, now i have weird pain in my hip connector, what gives?

I wanted to tone up my thighs and butt so i started walking on the treadmill. ps i never walk but im not horrible fat either. im 5'6 and 125 lbs. im tryin to get rid of cellulite and pudge in my thighs and tone up. I read about the treadmill and wanted to go this route. Anyhow I went and walked on it, slow pace for 5 mins, ran for 1 min then incline for 20. i increased the incline as i went along but the bulk of it was at the highest level... now i have a sore aching feeling in my thigh, there is a muscle or something that hurts there and only on 1 leg. Why did this happen? are there any tips or recomendations for starting out on the treadmill?

thanks!

It might just be the way you are walking on the treadmil. The majority of people when they first walk on a treadmil kick their legs forward, and kick too hard off of their toes (where by you should just be walking normally). Another common mistake is walking too close/ too far away from the front of the treadmil. Your feet shouldn't hit the front of the machine, nor should you be almost falling off the back.

That said, your problem just sounds like an overworked muscle to me. I would not worry about it much. You did everything right: warmed up for five minutes, then gradually got harder.

One thing you could add is a cool down at the end. Cool downs don't really prevent injury, per se, but what they do very well is flush out your muscles. When you work out your muscles build up lactic acid (this is what give you that burning feeling), and do a bunch of other things that during a cool down are returned to their normal levels. Cool downs thus help prevent muscle soreness.

Another good thing to do is stretch AFTER you cool down. This will lengthen your muscles and make pulled muscles less likely in the future.

Since it only happened in one leg you might want to get a trainer (if you are at a gym) or a friend to watch the way you walk. You might be really favoring one side, and that is definelty something you want to correct. Another thing you might be doing (if you hold on to the handrails) is leaning to one side as the workout goes on. This too is a habit worth breaking. Try not to hold on to the rail! No matter how tempting it looks (or feels).

Honest, though, I'd not worry about it too much. Take a day off, then get back on the tread mill the next day. If you are still sore, just take it slow at the begining of the workout and make sure to cool down and stretch. You might also want to try a muscle relaxor like icy-hot.

If the pain doesn't go away in two weeks I'd talk to a doctor. But I think the chances of that are very slim. Like I said, it sounds like a pulled muscle.
