I have found that some serious stretches solved the problem of sore hips with me. Mine started right away (week one). One or two stretches won't do. You will need to do a series of stretches. Also, I do these every day, even on my days off from running. I do the 14-minute "slim-n-limber" segment on my Slim in Six video, but everyone doesn't have that. Here is a link I found to some good images of hip stretches that might help. The one on page 9, figure 9 on this page is on my video, and is one of my personal favorites. You can really feel it. Good luck!
