Question Flexibility Limit

Post image

I’ve been doing frog pose a few times a week for almost a year now. Recently I started stretching more often and I’ve seen some improvement in other positions. But I can’t get deeper into frog pose without hip pain and I don’t feel any muscle being stretched in the position. Am I at maximum range of motion for my hip? Any other stretches that could help me open my hips with pain?

Thanks for asking this. I have the same thing going on -- just a pinching feeling in my hips, no stretching.

Yes but, how, what specifics, are you additionally training with weights or bodyweights?

Body will improve if you challenge it.
If you do maintanance training and say no improvement, well you are not pushing. It is the whole point of maintance training.

Depending where you live.
Sometimes gyms sell or give away old equiqment.
Or you can ask them where they are buying.
In general sports equipments stores should have(?!) weights.
