Hips are weak...

[Bubbas Grill]

Troops...

On a weekly basis I'm at the golf course for 2 rounds, at the tennis club twice for 6 sets in total and in-between on my road-bike just zooming about ...eventually to the pub. I'm 58 and it's starting to hurt. Push-off from the hips is weakening and I wake at night with them howling...brufen sorts it. They are starting to 'click'

Mrs BG is suggesting Yoga.

Thoughts? Tell me I'll Live!

Id suggest some light but regular hamstring and glute work, weighted movements, lengthening stretches and mobility drills. Couple times a week!

Its bonkers how little the hamstrings/glutes are strengthened by joe public and how much it affects the rest of the body as we age.

Thanks for all the feedback! Much appreciated.

I'm guilty of minimal warm up/down as I'm still 25-in-my-head.

Today, I took the time to stretch out for 10 minutes before/after 3 sets at the court and it has obviously helped tonight. Ain't hoblin'!

I had a period a few years back where I was getting a repeated groin tweak so I'd gently hit the rowing machine in the gym for 20 minutes before going on court and that's the overall loosest/fittest I'd felt in years. Deffo need to get back to that I think.

Cheers from a stubborn old git.
