Muscles that hurt

Not ALL points shown are painful


Shamed by my inability earlier today to identify the muscles that are giving me "gip" after yesterday's Insanity workout, you'll be pleased to hear I've spent some productive time on-line researching muscular anatomy, and am now able to elaborate.

(I'm not seeking sympathy, mind. This post is simply to satisfy those of you who enjoy a bit of armchair schadenfreude.) 

Rictus Abdominis ("Abs"), Clavicular head of pectoralis (upper "Pectorals") and Deltoids - all mildly uncomfortable

Latissimus Dorsi ("Lats") - middling uncomfortable

Adductor Longus ("Adductors") - middling uncomfortable

Gluteus Maximus ("Glutes") - very uncomfortable indeed whenever I sit down or climb stairs

Semitendinosus ("Hamstrings") - very uncomfortable indeed whenever I bend over (feeding the cat used to be easy -not now!)
Like steel hawsers at all other times

So, now you know.
