GRRRR!!!!

So that pain I've been feeling on my right hip is a pulled or strained muscle!  It is not a constant pain, though some movement triggers a sharp pain in my hip area.  I am guessing this is due to the kettlebell workouts from last week :(.  Everything I'm reading online suggests not working the muscle--which is hard to do seeing as how it's part of my core.  It looks like my only option is the elliptical as long as it does not hurt to use it.  THIS SUCKS!!!!  My new Jillian Michaels DVD arrived today and I want to do it! :(
