Pulled muscles in both leg while doing a split… please give me advice on how to recover! Ouch this hurts?

Ive been doing taekwondo for four months now and we need to stretch a lot. I pulled my right leg muscle two months ago, and even now its not completely healed. Just yesterday while doing a complete split i pulled the right leg muscle just under the hip bone (buttocks) and heard all my hip joints crack!! Now im worried i cant do ne physical activity for a while if both my legs have sore muscles. Whats a safe way to recover quickly and completely ..masage/balms/stretching more etc?. Also should I not stretch while i give my legs time to recover/rest? thanks a lot for your answers.

Currently, I run/walk, spinning, tai chi, crunches, and curl 15 lb dumbells. Will I see results from this? What else can I do? Since I am already thin how long til I see results?

i need personal trainer/fitness guru advice on my workout!?

I have lost 30lbs and want to maintain it. I am going to hawaii in a few weeks and want to be in top shape. 3 days a week i run 30min in the mornings on an empty stomach and then later in the day i lift weights. 3 other days of the week i do a spin class in the afternoon (either right before lunch or late afternoon) and then will do some yoga or pilates during the week. i eat tons of fruits vegetables and do not eat carbs after 3pm unless it is natural in fruits or veggies. Is this an ok plan or is there ANYTHING i can do to step up my game?
