Hi Friends I am 55 years old and about the same overweight, haha!! I love gardening, dogs, and reading. I too was once a runner, but many years have gone by where I let my body go. I have completed up to week 4, but I’m struggling on week 5. Do you think my weight is the problem? My legs hurt. I don’t know if I pulled a muscle from weeding my garden, but the muscle below my butt on the left leg hurts only when I run. Any stretches or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Friends: I am responding to this post with a similar question. I am 55 and at least 35 pounds overweight. I am also struggling with week 5. I’m sure some of it is in my head as noted above, but I have a pain in my left leg. I don’t know the name of the muscle, but it runs down the back of my thigh starting right under my gluteus. Any idea what I can doo for that. I’m sure I’ve over stretched it from weeding in my garden. I have completed up to week 4, but I can’t seem to conquer week 5. Please help. Much appreciated.
