I was born with a hip condition which i have always heard it called 45 degree angle hip. Meaning that my hip bones are very tilted which throws everything bone and muscle wise in my body a lil out of wack. my back/spine, hips, knees, ankles and even my feet.
When i was 5 i had to go to a special pediatrist (foot dr) who made castings of my feet (which i still have) and made plastic foot plates to put in my shoes so i didn't walk like a duck/pigeon and it worked. but as i get older other things are starting to creep up as issues having to do with this congenital hereditary condition.
exibit A- my hips. if i do any kind of exercise where i have to use my hips where i am moving side to side, the next week or so is hard to walk because my bones and muscles are fighting it. hence the title of this blog.... walk your age. i felt 83 not 33 when i was walking today. i even had to steady myself on the wall so i would not fall over. i even sat on an electric blanket all day..... which helped a lot along with stretching.
when ever this happens i have to back off the intensity of my work outs until i feel like myself again, which sucks!
oh well, such is life. just a lil bump in the road.
