Little pain
I'm using the rollers since two weeks , weather was not that great and i've also a bit og jet lag.
With the rollers i'm using my fixed bike simulating the spinbike's training and here how i train myself.
1- 5 Min of stretching, basically i focus more on calf and quadriceps.
2- I start 5 min with a low roller's resistance and high cadence.
3- i start the real training by setting the roller's resistance at 3 (is almost like climbing).
4- when my force start to end i move to the initial roller's cadence and i recover a bit.
5- I start again for the last minutes the climbing resistence.
6- before ending the training session i move back to the low resistance.
7- more stretching and an huge shower.
Also i need to tell , that i'm using almost all day my computer for many reason (study,work, and why not for whatch a movie or some music).
I really don't know the reason of this pain , and here start the reason of this tread.
Do you think are the rollers the problem?
Or maybe the sitting posture?
Here an image for expain where the pain is located (is almost near the nerve).

have a good day and thanks for answers.

Do you get the pain as you stand up after sitting? I have the same thing...pretty sure it's bursitis. Also known as getting old.

I have the pain sometimes when i walk and when i turn my leg.
btw i don't think is bursitis becouse i haven't any swelling.

Sitting is notoriously bad for the hip flexors. I would do yoga postures; stork, butterfly, bridge, hero, and especially, half backward bend and full backward bend. Especially effective if done after bath or shower.

I've never had swelling with mine...bursa sacs are pretty small I think, you probably wouldn't notice swelling, and I've had some bad bursitis. But yea, my guess would be it is sitting related..
