I would try doing a sitting variation on the runners lunge before you get up. See if that makes a difference in your ability to straighten up faster. 37 is not old!

I stopped for about 7 years and now take class once a week just for the enjoyment. For the last year or so I have been having hip flexor pain if I sit for long periods of time. When I stand up I have to do so very slowly and stretch the front of my left hip for a bit before I can walk. If I try to put weight on my left leg before it is ready I have extreme pain and cannot put weight on it. Any thoughts on what the problem is? Should I chalk it up as age? I do work out about 4 days a week. Mostly with a tape that mixes kick boxing, dance, and yoga. It is supposed to be specifically for working on your butt. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
