I dunno the name of the kicks...I was approximating them, anyway...coordinated I ain't! But there was one where you were down on your hands and one knee and did a bunch of leg lifts and kicks to the side, and that's what did it, I think. Kind of a GOOD pain in a way, since I know it means I'm going to be stronger, but in the meantime...
But I'll try those stretches and see if they help!

Yeah, sometimes it's easier to do the kicks than remember the names of them :) Trying to describe without pictures is hard--wish I had some webspace that wouldn't crash--but basically, there are two types of kicking motions that will get that muscle group. The standing versions are called side kicks and roundhouse kicks, and look like this while done when standing:
Side kick (lifts straight up and extends straight out):
Roundhouse kick (comes around rather than straight):
Doing similar motions while on your hands and knees or on your back will have a similar effect.
