My hips have been increasingly less flexible -- to the point where it feels like I'm straining something when I want to put my socks and shoes on. This is a different problem than having excess weight blocking me from being able to reach shoes (which thankfully was only in danger of happening and isn't a problem now). It's clearly a flexibility issue. This morning, I did a quick search on hip and core strength and flexibility. This is one of the articles which popped up on the results. I have a stability ball, but I haven't inflated it since I retired three years ago. It might be worthwhile to do so.

Thanks for the link! I've been having quite a lot of trouble with my right hip and leg (stiffness, mild pain) since I pulled a butt-muscle months ago. Hopefully this will help!
Looks like something I might consider too. Thanks for the link!
