Well...whenever i do anything that requires fast sprints, after a sprint or two, my HIP FLEXORS hurt bad....so i cannot sprint anymore, or even run! Basically, when i get this pain, lifting my whole leg up hurts the hip flexor region, and sprinting cannot be performed......please help guys!! I don't want this to happen ever again! Also, can you guys tell me how to warm up for sprint type activities? thanks SO much!

Try this stretch: Stand with your hands on your hips. Now simply perform a lunge with your right leg, lunging out as far as possible and going down nice and deep. You should feel your hip flexors stretch. Hold for 15 seconds, release and repeat. Now do the same stretch with your other leg. I hope this helps!!
