Disc 14- legs- lunge question on form

[iron-mom]

While doing the static lunges, or for that matter any lunge, if I still can't get that back leg to the ground should I be increasing the weights or just working on form? The exercise doesn't seem hard on the front leg, but I can't go too deep because of a very tight hip flexor. Does anyone know?

Form first. Weight later. Cathe says this in disc 6 I believe.

Definitely form first however I speak from experience...You have to work thru the hip flexor rigidity with lots of stretching and lots of extra leg work..Like the drills in KickMax. It is a tricky muscle to actually get stretched really well but its SO worth the extra effort.

Stretch Max Stability Ball segments is great for hip flexors too.

If you GOOGLE Hip Flexor Stretch you'll get tons of great written & Video sites to go to for ideas.

Keep working at it...
