Stretching hurts....

[Fankango]

When i go to stretch out my legs it feels like something is about to break or pop. i feel it on my hips and my groin. is this normal or have i over did it or is something wrong. thanks

Warmup before you stretch by doing light cardio for 5 to 10min. If it hurts stop your over doing it or doing it wrong.

Looks good i like the leg over one for the lower back. I do a slightly different one but after just trying it i cracked my back, you know that good crack

Which stretch are you doing that gives you that feeling? Adductors? Hamstrings? Quads?

i am trying to work down to the splits. i keep my body straight and stay in the middle.

You are going to get that feeling because some of the muscle you are stretching out are very small and you have a lot of pressure (your weight) on them.

ok, will that go away after a while?
