I did something very stupid that I should have learnt the lesson not to do by now.
My mum was talking about some pilates moves shes been watching some vids about for sacroiliac dysfunction / pain (back of hip/glute area) so there was some basic moves like bridges, clams etc, I thought yep I can do of those. Some intermediate ones, yep I think I can do them too. Some advanced ones including single leg bridge with hand moving overhead. I watched the vid and thought I can do that me thinks - "let me try that see how difficult it will be for you" so down I got and 1 leg bent, the other straight out (think single leg wall squat) and then up into single leg bridge I went and OMG nasty pain in the back of my left thigh
!!!! Shook it off and thought what a muppet I should have warmed up.
Did a few double leg / normal bridges to warm up and then retried with
the other leg = I did it. Pelvis dropped a little but I braced harder
and redid it 
carried on and thought hmm that's a little ochy in the left leg still, stretch it out it will be fine. So I think I have strained my hamstring like a total egotistical numpty!!!! Stupid stupid stupid. No warm up, just high end work from cold - honestly sometimes I question my own mentality!!
I did a very similar thing when my push up bars arrived only a few weeks ago - deep full push up from cold and strained my shoulder - I told myself I would never do that again and then go be totally stupid with my hamstring today.
It's plyo day and although I think its only minor and just get on with it, I think that would be stupid, especially if it made it worse. So I've been icing it every hour or so and will see how it goes.
So close to the end of P90X and I'm so annoyed at myself!!!!
