Warm up- stretching or no?

when you jog youre not extending your hip fully, its a shorter range of motion, same thing with most people on a bike or sitting down all the time at work, majority of people have tight and weak hip flexors

Oh damn you are right, I guess playing basketball can loosen your hip flexors since you arent in one position the whole time? What do you do for your hip flexors besides the foam rolling?

reverse lunges are great for the hips and barbell thrusts, one legged squats are good for stabilization too
