    Bicycle Maneuvers

    I've been doing these consistently as a way to hit my abs and obliques for a little core work. A week ago, I was in the middle of a set and my left hip felt as if something popped, and I had a pain run through it. I still completed the rest of the workout because it wasn't very bad, but for the next day I couldn't lift my leg up completely. Today I tried them again, thinking last week was a fluke, and my right hip popped. This time the pain was much worse and I stopped the workout immediately. I have to find a new ab exercise that'll hit the abs and obliques now, but is this a common thing? How could this have happened when it's not even a weighted (or seemingly dangerous) exercise? I have no idea how I always seem to be injured by easy things...

    Has anyone had anything like this happen, or am I just extremely unlucky when it comes to the simple stuff?

    My hip popped a while ago doing some jogging. It still bothers me ever so slightly now and again when I'm at work. I never had a bicycle crunch give me a problem though, although it has been quite a while since I've done one.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    At least I'm not the only one to have gotten injured doing something like this. I also hurt my shoulder months ago in gym class (honestly, who gets injured in gym?) and it still bothers me pretty often. Luckily I'm going to a sports medicine doctor in a couple days, and maybe she'll have an answer.

    I'd take a break from doing them for a while.

    I plan to, but now I have to find something to hit the abs and obliques.
